Question

Text boxes could use Line Breaks, by inserting a code or CTRL-ENTER or something like that. Currently text boxes are single-line, so a multi-line text has to be done in an awkward way by creating several texts.

Another room for improvement: currently Text boxes have a fixed size between score and parts.

For instance, an 8pt size text that looks good in full Score mode will look too small when displaying a Dynamic Part, and it should be proportional: If the score has a font size of 4.0 (in Full Score Options) and the text is 8pt, then when switching to a Part (with a general font size of 5.0) the same text should be displayed at 10pt, like a scale factor instead of a fixed point size.

This is usually well handled if you use the default text boxes. But as soon as you change anything (say, you italizice the font) then this 'default' scaling between score and parts is lost forever.

This is a problem that forces the composer to have different files for score and parts, in which he/she will have to resize all text elements.

Hey Bruce! Yeah when I was studying harmony it was a pain to use Notion.

I found out that using Lyrics usually works better than trying to do that with text. You can enter different lines of lyrics by using 'L' and then a number.

Answer 4

When I add underscores for choral music, the alignment gets totally thrown off.  For example, ah________ (to have a choir sing ah over multiple notes).  The top line of text starts going down into the next lower line.  I have to close and reopen Notion repeatedly to have it reset.
