Each text object (except text in the header, or at or outside the page margins) is saved as a meta
event in a particular MIDI region, at a specific bar position. This position is displayed in the help
tag as you insert the text object. Text events are also displayed in the Event List, allowing you to
change their position, but not the text itself.

Score text event

Tip: You can simultaneously add text to several staffs. This is handy if you want to insert the text
“accelerando al fine,” for example, into all instruments. You can enter text into several staffs at
once just as you can other objects. For more information, see

Insert items in multiple regions

on

page 616.

Edit text

In general, you edit text objects in the same way as other objects. If a text object is selected, you
can set its parameters in the Event inspector.

You edit standard text in a text object the same way you edit text in a text-editing program. You
can also change font settings for standard text in the Fonts window.
