Title Fields

Command Location: Score Menu / Titles

'Fields' are special text strings which can be inserted into Score Titles.

These fields are automatically populated with the score information when titles are displayed or printed (such as page count, file name, date etc).

Fields can be added manually, or with the Insert Field Menu in the Score Titles dialog.

Fields contain no spaces, and should always be wrapped with square brackets [ and ].

The available fields are:

Note that you can reference other titles using fields.  In this case, references must not be 'circular' ie if you place the Copyright field in the Composer title, then the Copyright title cannot also contain the Composer field, or an endless loop would result!

Example of Field Usage

The following text in the footer would show page numbers on each page of the score:

    Page [page_number] of [page_total]
