710 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
The Alternate Repeat Symbols (for the whole project) option in File > Project Settings >
Score > Global activates a real book style display of repeat signs.
Bar Repeat Signs
The one or two bar repeat symbols replace all notes and rests in the corresponding
measures. All other symbols remain visible. This does not affect MIDI playback, so
hidden notes can still be heard. These signs can only be moved in the Event List or
Event Float window.
Double Repeat Sign
The double repeat sign behaves as expected, unless it is positioned at a line break. In
this situation, it is automatically displayed as two back to back repeat signs.
Working With Text
You can use text for a number of purposes in musical notation: to add performance
indications or display chord notation, as examples. Each text object in the Part box
serves a specific purpose:
 Standard text object: Use to add standard text. The basic functions for moving the
cursor, deleting parts of the text, and so on, are as per most word processors.
 Lyrics object: Use to quickly add lyrics to a song. The cursor position is automatically
moved from note to note.
 Chord object: Use to add chord notation.
 Automatic Text objects: Use to display text that is updated automatically. There are
four automatic text objects:
 Region: Drag this object onto the staff to automatically display the region name.
 Instr: Drag this object onto the staff to automatically display the instrument name.
 Song: Drag this object onto the staff to automatically display the project name.
 Date: Drag this object onto the staff to automatically display the current date.
