Add -> Text -> Title always going to first vertical frame

• Jun 26, 2020 - 04:31

Observation:

Not sure if this is by design or not, but if the user has like five vertical frames with music systems between them as usual, and then after selecting any one of the frames (but not the first frame) and then uses the menu above for Add -> Text -> Title, the entry for title text will jump to the top of the score at the first vertical frame.

This may very well be by design, but it is slightly confusing due to the fact that there is such a thing as a styled text called "Title", and with that the user can
1) Right click within a secondary (any but the first) vertical frame
2) Add -> Title / Subtitle
and the result is applied at that selected frame. If the first mentioned behavior is to be considered by design, I would suggest to clarify by having it somehow declare that it's for the entire score, as it gives me the impression that it will work with any vertical frame selected.

Yeah, that does seem the point. It still feels inconsistent because the surrounding choices in the menu are for selections (frames, other texts besides the top section of the add menu, etc.). It's in that sense that some how mentioning the "entire score" would clarify that section of add->text area.

But whatever, I suppose it doesn't matter too much.

I think it would make sense to have it applied to the current frame, if a frame is selected. And fall back to the current insert at top behavior is no frame is selected.
