The Free Text menu will only appear when a Free Text object has been selected.
Free Text items are displayed as rich text objects which can be edited directly in place on the score and font formatting is possible using the format toolbar which appears when editing a Free Text item. Furthermore a single Free Text item can be selected and dragged with the mouse to a new position on the score.
As well as appearing in the main program menu, these menu commands are usually available as a context menu when you right-click the mouse on the score.
Keyboard Shortcuts exist for quick access to these commands.
The menu offers the following commands:
| Edit Free Text Item | Allows the editing of selected Free Text items. |
| Insert New Line | Inserts a new line at the insertion point. |
| Add/Edit Next Free Text Item | Adds a new Free Text item at the next possible insertion point (to the right of the current cursor position) or if a Free Text item already exists at that position, begins editing that Free Text item. See also the Insertion options in Editing Options to alter this behavior. |
