Score song title

Hi,

On Logic 9, I was able to drag a text object to the top of the page, and align it page centred for it to become the title, and then it would appear across all Score Sets.

i.e., I could put the title of the song, then -50 pixels below it whether it's a transposed version, then align Page Left what the style/groove is and align Page Right who wrote the song etc.

All of those bits of text would appear on all parts (Score Sets), and only on the 1st page.


Now, it only lets me drag text to a specific position within the music itself e.g., 2 3 1 1. When I do that, the text only appears on that particular part.


Or, if I drag it beyond the margin into the far top left corner, it appears on all parts - which is great, but then it repeats itself across pages - which is not great.


Is there a setting in the Project settings or preferences that's been ticked since the new version of Logic?


I basically want to be able to go back to adding a title to my song, and for that title to appear on the 1st page only across all parts, in the same place.


Thanks,

Rory

The issue is you are dragging in and attaching text to the staff instead of into the top/free/or header zones at the top of the score window....


The way to do this is drag your title object from the part box up over and into the top of the score, rather than straight across the score... this way it will not attach to a measure.... you will know it is current as the help tag will show a negative position for the insertion point which indicates not being tied to a measure.... so again after clicking and holding on the text for song title in the part box - drag around the score and enter the score from the top - that should do the trick for you....

Once you have it inserted - you can use the parameter box to assign it to the top/free/header zones of your choosing...and set which pages the title should be displayed on...
