Font Options

Frame

Allows you to encase the text in a rectangular or oval frame.

Melisma Style

Allows you to specify whether the melisma line is dotted or solid.

Melisma lines are shown when you add a text symbol and you drag the handle at the right edge of the text block to the right. This can be used for specifying duration or for indicating lyrics sung over several syllables, for example.

Melisma End

Allows you to specify how the melisma line ends.

Positioning

Allows you to select which side of the text block is used for calculating its position.

This has an effect in situations where that text block is moved by the Auto Layout function.

Alignment

Allows you to specify the alignment of the text.

These options are only valid for texts with more than one line.

Bold/Italic/Underline

Allow you to show the text in bold, italic and/or underlined.

You must click Apply for the changes to take effect.
