What it does
The Text Menu contains options for editing text fonts, sizes, styles, justification and so on, displaying the text as it will appear on the screen and on your printed music.
You can change whether text blocks are assigned to a measure or a page, displayed on one or more pages, or displayed with a border around text in a standard frame, or within a custom frame. You can also use this menu to change whether page-assigned text blocks are positioned from the page edge (or from the page margins), and how they are horizontally and vertically positioned on a page.
