Text functions
Inserting a word
You insert words from the Words tab as you would insert any regular symbol, by
selecting the appropriate word and clicking in the score. However, you can edit the
word after inserting it, just as with text inserted by typing.
Find and replace
This function allows you to replace all occurrences of a certain word or group of
words, with another word or group of words. The replacement is done once and for
all, for all text symbol types, regardless of font, size, and style settings. Proceed as
follows:
1. Open the Scores menu and select “Find and Replace” from the Functions
submenu.
The Find and Replace dialog opens.
2. In the Find value field, enter the words to replace.
3. If you want all instances of the words to be replaced, regardless of upper/lower
case, deactivate the “Case Sensitive” option.
4. If you do not want to replace the words if they are a part of another word, activate
the “Entire Word” option.
For example, if you want to replace the word “string” but not the word
“stringendo”, you should activate “Entire Word”.
5. In the “Replace” field, enter the words that are to be used as replacement.
6. Click OK.
Now all occurrences of the “Find” words are replaced with the “Replace” words.
Staff names
You can make settings for staff names in several places:
• In the Score Settings dialog on the Layout page, you specify whether the staff
names are shown at all and whether to use the names of the actual edited tracks in
the score.
In a multi-track layout, you can choose for which tracks the staff names are shown
by clicking in the “N” column for each track.
• You specify a long and short staff name in the Score Settings dialog, on the Staff
page (Main tab).
These are used if you do not use the “From Tracks” option on the Layout page of
the Score Settings dialog. The long name is displayed for the first system only, and
the short name for the following systems. If you want a name at the top of the page
only, leave the “Short” name field empty.
!
If the “Show Long Staff Names on new Pages” option is activated in the Score
Settings dialog on the Project–Notation Style subpage (Staff Names category), the
long name is displayed for the first system on every page.
