Changing the text font, size and style
To change the font settings for the text you have added, proceed as follows:
1. Select the text by clicking it with the Object Selection tool.
2. Open the MIDI menu and select “Set Font…” from the Scores submenu.
The Font Settings dialog appears, containing the following settings:
3. When you have made your settings, click Apply.
If you like, you can leave the Font Settings dialog open, select another text block
and adjust the settings for that – just remember to click Apply before you select a
new text block.
• If you make settings in the Font Settings dialog with no text selected, the settings
will be used as default for all new text.
In other words, all text you enter from then on will get the settings you have
specified (although you can of course change this manually for each text as usual).
Printing
To print your score, proceed as follows:
1. Open the parts you want to print in the Score Editor.
Printing is only available from within the Score Editor.
2. Select “Page Setup…” from the File menu and make sure all your printer settings
are correct. Close the dialog.
3. Select “Print…” from the File menu.
4. A standard print dialog appears. Fill out the options as desired.
5. Click Print.
Item Description
Font This is where you specify the font for the text. Which fonts are
available on the pop-up menu depends on the fonts you have
installed on you computer. You probably do not want to use the
“Steinberg” fonts – these are special fonts used by the program (e.
g.
for score symbols) and not suited for common text.
Size Sets the size of the text.
Frame Allows you to encase the text in a rectangular (box) or oval frame.
Font options These checkboxes determine whether the text is formatted bold,
italic, and/or underlined.

If you change your setting for paper size, scale and margins now, the score may
change its look.
