Text inserts allow you to share the same text information on multiple pages, such as a title or part name, or easily add characters with special properties, like page numbers or musical symbols. An outline appears around an insert to remind you of its special function.
You can change character settings for inserts placed in text blocks (you might underline the date, for example). Simply select an insert you’ve placed in a text block (such as the date), then choose a font or other character setting from the Text menu. PrintMusic changes the entire contents of the insert to the new setting. You cannot, however, select and change the text within inserts.
When you begin a new score with the Setup Wizard, PrintMusic adds placeholder text inserts for Title, Subtitle, Composer, and Arranger if these items were not defined (the inserts that appear also depend on the Document Style used). In addition to being standard text on the first page of most scores, these items also constitute important file information shared with the File Info portion of the Score Manager. When undefined, these inserts are gray, indicating they will not print. You can use the Text tool to edit these text inserts like a regular text block. When you do so, you are actually updating the text insert definition. After editing, the text insert will be solid black, indicating it will print. In addition to editing directly in the score, you can also change the text in the File Info to change the information for the following inserts: Title, Composer, Arranger, Copyright, and Description.
