Special style options

Most of the options are common text style variations such as bold, italic, underline, etc. But there are also a few special style options:
Frame

Allows you to put the text in a rectangular (“Box”) or oval frame.

Melisma options

These determine the appearance of the “melisma line”.

Positioning

Allows you to select which side of the text block (left or right) is used for calculating its position. This has an effect in situations where that text block is moved automatically (as a result of an Auto Layout function, when you move barlines manually, etc.). If, for example, the text block appears just in front of a note (to the left of it), it appears in a more sensible position after the adjustment if the “Right” option is selected.

Alignment: Left/Center/Right

Allows you to specify the alignment of the text. These options are only valid for texts with more than one line.
