Working With Notation

Each text object (except text in the header, or at—or outside—the page margins) is
saved as a meta event within a particular MIDI region, at a certain bar position. This
position can be seen in the help tag, as you insert the text object. Text events are also
visible in the Event List, allowing you to change their position, but not the text itself.

Tip: You can simultaneously add text to several staffs. This is handy if you want to
insert the text “accelerando al fine,” for example, into all instruments. Text entry into
several staffs at once works as per other objects (see “

Simultaneous Input of Objects

Into Several Regions

” on page 676).

Editing Text

In general, you can edit text objects in the same way as other objects (see “

Editing

Notes and Symbols: Basic Operations

” on page 690). If a text object is selected, you can

set its parameters in the Event Parameter box. If you want to edit the text itself, either
click on it with the Text tool, or double-click on it with the Pointer tool. The flashing text
cursor will appear.

To set the selected text font, size, and face:

Choose Text > Fonts, then make the desired settings in the Fonts window.
