Working with Automatic Text

The text group in the Part box contains four objects that represent names that are automatically displayed, if inserted:

• REG (Region/Folder): Displays the name of the current display level. This can be a MIDI region, a folder, or even the name of the project file (on the highest level).
• INSTR (Instrument): Displays the name of the currently displayed instrument or score set. (See Using Score Sets to Create Scores and Parts.)
• SONG: Displays the name of the project file.
• DATE: Displays the current date (at the time of printout).

These automatic text objects can be inserted as both global text (in the margin areas), or as text objects that are related to a bar position (in one of the staffs or regions). For example, you can insert the INSTR object as a global object to display the name of the current score set on all pages. The appearance, and exact positioning, of these objects can be set in the Event Parameter box.
