Anchored to a Sta Object
If you want, you can leave a message for musicians to read that is tied to a passage (specically, an object in
a measure). As you make changes to your score, and that object moves around, the text follows along.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. To place the text tool on your Music Cursor, either:
> Press K, or
> In the Entry Palette, hover over the rst pane and click in the pop-up menu.
3. Click your Music Cursor on the item you want to anchor text to.
» Notion displays a temporary text box at this location with the placeholder
of “Text” inside.
4. Type the text you want inside this box and either click anywhere away from the
box or press Enter.
Move Text
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. Click once anywhere on the text you want to move.
» All letters and punctuation in the text appear in an orange color.
3. Only text anchored to a sta object can be moved by dragging: otherwise you can use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow
keys to move all text. There are two details to keep in mind:
> If you move a Title in the Pages Across or Pages Down page view, the staves on the rst page follow along.
> If you add text, you must rst move it from its original location by dragging it (once, even a little) before it will
respond to Arrow keys.
4. To change the text from orange to a solid black color, click anywhere in the score area away from the text.
TIP: You have the option of hiding this text from general view and printouts. It will only
show (in a light gray color) when you select View > Show > Show Hidden Items.
Edit Existing Text
You are free to edit the text you’ve already Entered into a score, whether the text is anchored to a page or to a sta object.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. Double-click anywhere on the existing text.
» A temporary text box appears, with the existing text highlighted inside in a blue color.
3. Make your edits inside the temporary text box.
4. Either click anywhere in the score away from the box or press Enter.
5. You can change Font, Text Size and Formatting Options in the added text-editing tool. Go to Score, Full Score
Options and select the Fonts tab. This will change the formatting for score and parts. To further change the parts
text styles (so they are dierent to the full score), Go to Score, Parts Options and select the Fonts tab.
