Engrave mode
Engrave mode allows you to manipulate and modify every item in your project, but without deleting them, moving them rhythmically, or changing the pitch of notes. You can also determine how the pages in each layout of your project are formatted for printing or exporting.
Frames
Frames are boxes that allow you to position music, additional text, and graphics on pages. Frames can be any size and shape, as long as they fit within the page margins.
Text frames
Text frames allow you to display text, including tokens, on pages independently of rhythmic positions in the score.

Text frames

Text frames allow you to display text, including tokens, on pages independently of rhythmic positions in the score.

You can open the text editor for individual frames in any of the following ways:

Activate Frames in the Formatting panel, select the text frame, and press Return.

Tip
You can switch between selecting a frame handle and the whole frame by pressing Tab.
Double-click within the text frame.

Example

By default on the first page in part layouts, there are four text frames at the top of the page. These frames display the layout name, the project title, the project lyricist, and the project composer.

Note

Adding text frames to pages individually, and not on a master page, is considered a master page override, which is a type of page format change.
