How can I add a text paragraph, either under the title box or above the copyright line?
Subject pretty much says it all. I looked in the handbook and the only thing I saw was to add it as a footer. I did that, but I could not find a way to wrap the text so it remained on just the first page: it stretched across several pages.
I also tried to just make it the sub-title, but I couldn't make the text size small enough to fit. Either place is fine with me, but there is a lot of space below the staff on the first page of the score and the score is the only place I'd like it to appear.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Thanks, jeetee! "Append" text frame worked for me. The only thing better would be if I could place this at the bottom of the first page, not the last. I tried "insert" text frame, but it seemed to require that it be in a measure--not acceptable.
If I can't that won't be the end of the world, either.

Insert needs a position for the frame to know where to insert it. It'll be inserted before the selected measure, not inside it.

Then that won't work for my application. I want this text to help describe the piece, not be a part of the music.
I can make do with the text at the end of the score. It would be neat, though, if there were some way to place it on some other page. I tried cut and paste, but that didn't work.
Thanks!

IT is.. just try it. Select the first measure (or measure 25 or whatever) and use Add > Frames > Text Frame and see what happens.
You can even add a Page Break onto a frame to make it the last thing on a page.

Wow! Thanks. I'll look into adding a page break, too, and see what happens.
