Join Jenny Amaya for an in-depth discussion in this video Getting to know text styles, part of Sibelius 7 Essential Training.
Before working with text in Sibelius you should take a moment to understand a…little bit about what a Text Style is.…A Text Style in Sibelius consists of several different elements.…Each Text Style may use a different font.…They may have different font formatting like Bold, Italic or Boxed.…Text Styles might have a different justification setting,…whether they're placed to the left, right or centered, above or below a note or object.…And each Text Style might have a different positioning or a certain number of spaces…where they appear above or below a staff or object when they're placed on the page.…
Let's take a quick look at some different Text Styles in this Score,…so that you can see these different elements and settings at work.…To show you some of the basic properties of the Text Styles in this Score,…let's click on the Text tab.…The Text tab's formatting group gives us local control…of some of the basic Text Style elements.…It also is a great tool to use for finding out information…about any text that you select in your Score.…
