How to get there
What it does
The Text Menu appears when the Text Tool is selected for editing text blocks directly on-screen. It contains options for editing text fonts, sizes, styles and so on, displaying the text as it will appear on the screen and on your printed music.
Font. Choose Font to display the Font dialog box, which lists all the fonts currently installed on your system. Select the font that you want to use. NotePad highlights your selection in the Font list. If you want, you can specify other font settings in the Font dialog box. For details see Font dialog box.
Size:6 • ... • 72 • Other. Choose an option from the Size submenu for the font size for your text. NotePad places a checkmark next to your selection. Choose Other to open the size dialog box where you can enter a font size.
Style: Plain • Bold • Italic • Underline. Choose a type style from the Style submenu. NotePad places a checkmark next to your selection and applies the style to the selected text. Choose the command again to remove the checkmark and the style. Choose Plain to remove the checkmark from all other styles. You can choose any combination of styles (such as Bold—Underline, Italic—Bold, or a similar combination) from the submenu.
Justification: Left • Right • Center. Choose Left, Right, Center from the Justification submenu to select how you want the text positioned in a frame. Choose Left or Right to place the text on the left or right edge of the frame, or choose Center to center the text.
Note: The Justification submenu in the Text Menu positions the text within an editing frame, but does not change the text block’s position on the page.
Word Wrap. Deselect this option to disable word wrapping in text blocks.
Assign to Measure • Assign to Page. These items allow you to specify whether NotePad will create a text block that is attached to a particular measure or attached to a particular page. Note that these commands only affect future text blocks.
