To position measure-assigned text blocks (Frame Attributes dialog box)

1. Choose Scroll View from the View menu, if it isn’t already selected.
2. Click the Text tool  . The Text menu appears.
3. Click a measure-assigned text block handle, then choose Text > Frame Attributes. Or, SHIFT+double-click a measure-assigned text block handle. The Frame Attributes dialog box appears.
4. Set the positioning distance. Enter a value in the H: text box in the Alignment and Positioning group box for the distance to position the text block horizontally from the upper-left of the staff associated with the measure. A larger value moves text to the right; a smaller value to the left. Enter a value in the V: text box for the distance to position the text block vertically from the upper-left of the staff associated with the measure. A larger value moves text down; a smaller value up.
5. Click OK to confirm your settings and return to the document.
