Hi friends,

This tutorial shows various types of text and how to enter and edit them in your score. The following topics are included in this one:



Free text - great for performance directions, annotations, or other "score notes".
Page text - text items that you want to appear on specific pages of the score such as the title, part names, page numbering, etc. and a little "cheat" method for including other information as page text.
Rehearsal marks - entering and editing (also see the Practice and Learning video (http://www.notation.com/vb-forum/showthread.php?t=3858) for using these in practice sessions)
Chord names - a brief overview (these will be covered in more detail in another video)
Special Symbols - how to include musical symbols in the score as annotation elements (ie. non-playback-performance annotations).

Please note that Lyrics are covered in their own separate tutorials:
Basic lyric entry (http://www.notation.com/vb-forum/showthread.php?t=3614)
Basic font editing (http://www.notation.com/vb-forum/showthread.php?t=3617)
Copy/pasting and multiple verses (http://www.notation.com/vb-forum/showthread.php?t=3616)

Please be patient as the video loads (it's high quality and 27 minutes long).
