To open the Text Styles window
µ
Choose Text > Text Styles in the Score Editor.
The first 15 lines contain the default text styles, which exist in every project (but can be
edited, according to your needs). Below these are user-created text styles. User text styles
are saved with the project file, allowing them to be different for each project.
Each line shows the name, and an example, of the text style. Double-clicking the Example
line opens the Font window, allowing you to edit both the default and user text styles.
Any fonts installed on your system can be used.
About the Default Text Styles
The default text styles have been designed for specific text elements, and are automatically
assigned when inserted.
• Plain Text: This is the default setting for regular text.
• Page Numbers, Bar Numbers, Instrument Names: The text styles for automatic page and
bar numbering, and display of instrument names (see Numbers & Names Settings ).
These styles can also be edited in the Numbers & Names pane of the Score project
settings (File > Project Settings > Score). Changes in either window automatically
update the settings in the other window, and affect the entire project.
• Tuplets: This text style is used for triplet and other tuplet numbers.
• Repeat Endings: The text style for anything written into the repeat ending boxes (usually
just numbers, but text can also be entered).
• Chord Root, Chord Extension: Used for the display of chord symbols. The Root covers
the root and (optional) extra bass note in chord symbols. The Chord Extension is used
for everything else.
• Multiple Rests: The text style for the number above multiple rests.
• Tablature: Used for the display of fret numbers in guitar tablature. (See Tablature
Settings .)
