Adding text block to lead sheet

Dorico
1

I’m very new to Dorico, transferring from years of sporadic use of Finale. I really only write up lead sheets for Swedish folk music (I play nyckelharpa), and would love to be able to add text at the bottom, such as “Jonas Skoglund learned this tune as a child” or “An 89-year-old woman sang this tune and he learned it on nyckelharpa”. Just interesting facts that are part of the Swedish oral tradition.

IS there a way to do this in DoricoSE5? It already has so much that I don’t need, I’m not inclined to upgrade to Pro.

Welcome to the forum.

There’s not a lot of flexibility to do this in Dorico SE.

There are some ways to do so in Elements, though without the full flexibility of Pro.

Why not do the 60-day trial? You can start Dorico in each of the SE, Elements or Pro versions and check out the features you might want to use. Then make a decision.
