Notion enables you to Enter text into your score two dierent ways. You can add text that is anchored:
8 To a xed location on the page. You can add or remove measures and the text does not move from its location.
8 To an object in a sta. This text moves along with the object as you add, remove, ll in, or empty out measures.
You can also easily edit existing text you’ve already Entered into your score.
Anchored to Page
This text stays at the same location on a page, away from the staves, no matter how you change the content
of your score. You can specify which kind of page (rst/left/right only) you want the text to appear.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. Go to the menu bar and select Score > Add Title, Header, Footer.
» An Add Title, Credit, Header, or Footer dialog box opens.
◙ Dialog box:
3. In Style, specify the use for the text. Notion has prespecied font, font size, and formatting for each of these styles.
Although you can add a mix of these text items, you add one at a time. The options are:
Title Dedication Part name Copyright notice
Subtitle Composer/Lyricist Date Page number
4. Go to the representation of a page on the right-hand side of the dialog box and click where on six predetermined
locations on a page where you want this text to appear. You can only specify one location at a time for each type of
style.
5. The Link to Metadata box can be optionally unchecked - this allows you to have multiple text boxes of the same
style, but with dierent content. (e.g. copyright notices, so they don’t all then synchronise and show the same text).
6. Specify in the Show on drop-down list if you want the text to appear on all pages, the rst page only, or all pages
except the rst page.
7. In the Even/Odd drop-down list, specify where you want the text to appear on the pages you selected in Show on:
Both odd and even pages, Odd pages only, or Even pages only.
8. When ready, click Add.
» Notion displays a temporary text box at the location you specied. The name of
the style appears as text inside the box.
9. Replace the placeholder text with the actual text you want. Then either click anywhere away form the box
or press Enter.
10. If you want to alter the exact location where the text appears, click the text once (so all characters appear in an
orange color). The text can now be moved with your arrow keys. When you have the text where you want it, click
anywhere on the score away from the text.
