00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.080
Now we'll take you through some of the most 
common types of text you can add to your score,

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.686
including lyrics, and we'll 
show you how to add chords too.

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.000
When you’re first creating a project, 
you can press the "Next" button down here,

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.600
which takes you to a section where
you can enter the title of the score,

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:25.751
the composer or arranger, the subtitle, 
and any lyricist or copyright information.

00:00:25.751 --> 00:00:28.825
By pressing "Done", you can see 
that the information you filled in

00:00:28.825 --> 00:00:31.026
is already positioned on your score.

00:00:31.026 --> 00:00:34.849
If you’ve already created a score 
and want to add this information later,

00:00:34.849 --> 00:00:40.414
you can quickly do this using the "Add" button, 
and selecting one of the options in "Text".

00:00:40.414 --> 00:00:44.316
Lyrics can also be added this way. 
First select a note or rest,

00:00:44.316 --> 00:00:47.778
go back to the add button 
and select Lyrics.

00:00:47.778 --> 00:00:50.800
This now adds a lyric text item 
under your note.

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:55.128
You can do this more quickly by using the 
shortcut Ctrl + L on Windows

00:00:55.128 --> 00:00:57.434
or Command + L on a Mac.

00:00:57.434 --> 00:01:01.286
When adding lyrics, you can press the 
Spacebar to move to the next note

00:01:01.286 --> 00:01:03.498
to continue entering your text.

00:01:03.498 --> 00:01:08.133
If you want to create a hyphen between 
words or syllables, press the Hyphen key,

00:01:08.133 --> 00:01:12.394
which also moves you to the next note. 
If you want to create an extender line,

00:01:12.394 --> 00:01:16.560
you can enter an underscore by 
using the shortcut Shift + Hyphen.

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.971
So now that I’ve entered a few lyrics, I want 
to copy and paste them a few bars later.

00:01:20.971 --> 00:01:26.147
To do this, hold the Shift key and drag 
with your mouse to select all the lyrics.

00:01:26.147 --> 00:01:30.301
Then copy them, and select another note, 
and press paste.

00:01:30.301 --> 00:01:33.866
If you want to set an elision that 
connects two syllables under one note,

00:01:33.866 --> 00:01:38.400
then open the "Properties" panel, 
select the "Special characters" button,

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:43.058
and choose from one of the three elision 
options found in the common symbols window.

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:47.200
Lastly, to set chords on your score, 
select a note or rest,

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.520
click the "Add" button and choose 
"Chord Symbol". To do this quickly,

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:56.194
use the shortcut Ctrl K on Windows 
or Command K on a Mac.

00:01:56.194 --> 00:02:00.945
When entering your chords, you can again press 
Spacebar to quickly move to the next duration.

00:02:00.945 --> 00:02:04.821
Chord symbols also cleverly recognise 
different characters. For example,

00:02:04.821 --> 00:02:10.345
you can press uppercase B, followed 
by lowercase b, to create a B-flat symbol.

00:02:10.345 --> 00:02:14.704
Here, I'm entering D, 
hashtag, zero, seven,

00:02:14.704 --> 00:02:17.838
to create a 
D-sharp half-diminished seventh chord.

00:02:17.838 --> 00:02:26.903
And here, I'm entering F, hashtag, lowercase m, 
seven, bracket, lowercase b, five, bracket,

00:02:26.903 --> 00:02:30.432
to produce an 
F sharp minor seven (flat 5) symbol.

00:02:30.432 --> 00:02:33.781

of text you can enter on your score,
