3.2 Common text styles
Copyright A copyright line is normally written on the first page of a score. This text style (choose Create Text Other system text Copyright) goes at the bottom of the page, centered, and appears in all parts. The © symbol is available from the word menu. You should create the text on the first bar of the score – though it will appear at the bottom of the page, it will in fact be attached to the first bar, which will ensure it always remains on the first page even if the score reformats.
Footnote
You can refer to the footnote with an asterisk or numeral using (say) Technique text above the staff. The footnote you type will always stay on the same page as the bar it’s referring to. It will also appear only in the part of the staff in question.
Header and Header (after first page) Headers are text that goes at the top of every page – e.g. the name of the piece, or instrument in a part. Header (within Other System Text) produces the same text on every page; if you change the header on any page, it automatically changes on all other pages. Headers and footers appear on the page where you place them and all subsequent pages, but not previous pages. So you should normally place the header/footer on the first page, so they appear throughout. Header (after first page) works the same but is always shown hidden on the first page, to avoid colliding with the title. Headers are system text and so appear in all parts.
Footer Footers are text that goes at the bottom of every page. Create Text Other System Text Footer (outside edge) goes on the right of right-hand pages and the left of left-hand pages; Footer (inside edge) goes on the inside edge. As with headers, you should normally create the footer on the first or perhaps the second page; it will automatically appear on all subsequent pages (but not previous ones). If you change the footer on any page, it automatically changes on all other pages. Footers are system text and so appear in all parts.
Plain text To create plain text in your score, for example to type miscellaneous performance instructions or blocks of lyrics, use Create Text Other Staff Text Plain text.
