Each text object (except text in the header, or at or outside of the page margins) is saved
as a meta event within a particular MIDI region, at a certain bar position. This position
can be seen in the help tag as you insert the text object. Text events are also visible 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. (See

Simultaneous Input of Objects

into Several Regions

.)

Editing Text

In general, you edit text objects in the same way as other objects (see

General Editing in

the Score Editor

). If a text object is selected, you can set its parameters in the Event

Parameter box. If you want to edit the text itself, either click it with the Text tool, or
double-click it with the Pointer tool. The blinking insertion point appears.
