Working With Global Text

Global text objects appear in all score sets of a project (score, parts, and so on),
although they are inserted just once.

Score sets determine which instrument tracks are included in the score display. Each
project can contain as many score sets as required. Full details on score sets can be
found in “

Using Score Sets to Create Scores and Parts

” on page 762.

The position of global text does not relate to bar positions (unlike regular text objects),
but is defined as a graphic position on the page. Given this behavior, global text can
only be inserted and seen in Page view. The most obvious example of a global text
object is a song name (in the page header).

To create global text:

m

Insert text into one of the following areas of the page:

 In the header space (which is set in Layout > Global Format).

 Outside, or directly on, any of the page margin lines.

Text objects inserted in one of these areas are automatically made global.

Positioning of Global Text

Following insertion into one of the margin areas, global text can be moved anywhere
on the page. The Pointer tool only allows vertical movement of global text objects.
Hold down Option to move global text horizontally.
