The Palettes<br />

• The System text tool inserts a textbox that is attached to a system. The text written<br />

in this textbox can affect <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong>’s playback behaviour (for example, tempo<br />

text such as “Allegro” will affect the tempo).<br />

• The Staff text tool inserts a textbox that is attached to a staff. The text written in this<br />

textbox does not affect <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong>’s playback behaviour.<br />

• The Entry expression tool is used for inserting textboxes that are attached to specific<br />

entries.<br />

• The Rehearsal mark tool, is used for adding rehearsal marks to the different systems.<br />

This is defaulted to a square in Piece settings, but can be changed to none, rectangle,<br />

square, oval or circle.<br />

Once a textbox has been inserted, it is possible to change the size of the text as<br />

well as the font. This is done in the Font menu (which appears when an existing<br />

text is clicked once). Note that text entry itself is examined in more detail in the<br />

Text Entry chapter on page 186.<br />

8.1.11 The System Tool<br />

The System tool is used for moving different sections of systems (such as lyrics or<br />

bar numbers) and also for moving entire systems.<br />

When the System tool is selected, blue colour covers all systems, and boxes to the<br />

left of the systems tell the height of the different objects, such as staves, system<br />

text, and dynamics.
