Add global text to a score in Logic Pro for Mac

Score sets determine which software instrument tracks are included in the score display. Each project can contain as many score sets as required. For more information on score sets, see Overview of score sets.

Global text objects appear in all score sets of a project (score, parts, and so on), although they’re inserted just once.

Unlike regular text objects, the position of global text does not relate to bar positions, but is defined as a graphic position on the page. Global text can be inserted and viewed only in Page view. A common example of a global text object is a song name, commonly placed in the page header.

When a global text object is selected, the Event inspector contains the following additional parameters:

• Align pop-up menu: Although alignments relating to bar positions are shown in the pop-up menu, you can’t choose them here.

• Pages pop-up menu: Defines the pages that the global text object is displayed on. You can choose between the following options:

  • 1: The text will only be displayed on the first page.

  • 2: The text will be displayed on all pages except the first one.

  • Odd: The text will be displayed on all pages with odd numbers.

  • Even: The text will be displayed on all pages with even numbers.

  • All: The text will be displayed on all pages.

• Zone pop-up menu: The margin area that the text belongs to or is associated with. You can choose between Top, Header, Side, Footer, and Bottom.
