A text block can be almost any piece of text: a note to the conductor, a page of dialogue, performance instructions, or an extra verse of lyrics, for example. You can place block text, in any font and size, anywhere in the score.
Text blocks created in Scroll View and text blocks created in Page View are treated differently. PrintMusic always assigns a text block to a measure if you are in Scroll View when the text block is created. To create a page-assigned text block, you must be in Page View. If you wish to create a measure-assigned text block in Page View, select Text > Attach New Text To Measure.
A single dashed line indicates that the frame will expand vertically and /or horizontally as you type.
A double dashed line indicates that the frame is a fixed size; it will not expand as you type.
If a standard frame is set for a text block (Text > Standard Frame is selected), you can resize the text block on-screen by dragging its frame. If you’re using a custom frame for a text block (Text > Custom Frame is selected), see below.
When you change the horizontal alignment, PrintMusic clears any manual positioning that was done in the score.
