Enclosure Designer dialog box

How to get there

Click the Expression Tool  image\Expression_Tool.gif, and double-click a note or measure. In the selection box that appears, click Create (or click an existing expression and click Edit). If you like, enter or edit text in the Expression Designer text box, then click Edit under Enclosure Shape.

You also find this dialog box in the Repeat Tool. Click the tool, then click a measure. Click Create to create a new text repeat (a piece of text that functions as a fully operational repeat marking, such as "To Coda"), enter the text for the text repeat, and click Enclose Repeat.

Finally, you encounter this dialog box in the Measure Tool. Click the Measure Tool  image\Measure_Tool.gif and select Edit Region from the Measure Numbers submenu of the Measure menu. Click Enclosures. Or, double-click the handle of certain measure numbers in the score to change their enclosures. Specifically, it appears if you’ve specified Enclosures in the Measure Number dialog box for the current region of measures. See Measure Number dialog box for details.

What it does

This dialog box lets you enclose the expression mark (such as a rehearsal letter) or text repeat (such as "To Coda") in a box of any size, geometric shape, or line thickness. If you encounter it using the Measure Tool, it lets you modify, add, or remove the enclosure for the measure number you clicked.

 

Note that the display shows three square handles. By dragging these handles, you can change the size, shape, and positioning of the enclosure.

Tip: Choose Match Height and Width from the Options drop-down list for Rehearsal letters if you want the shape to be the same size throughout the score.
