To create text in a frame that automatically expands as you type

  1. Click the Text tool  image\Text_Tool.gif. The Text menu appears.
  2. Double-click the document window where you want to place text. The editing frame appears, with a flashing cursor to indicate the insertion point.
  3. Type the text directly into the score without dragging to create a frame. Press ENTER (type a carriage return) to start a new line. The frame expands horizontally and vertically to accommodate the text you enter.

A single dashed line indicates that the frame will expand vertically and /or horizontally as you type.
