line break in playing techniques

Hello, I feel dumb when I ask this kind of questions, but still.
In the playing techniques editor… how do I insert a line break?
I mean, I’d like to insert a
molto
sul pont.
two lines. Do I have to insert two separate text layers in the editor?

That’s not a dumb question. I don’t believe there’s a way to. I tried copying the text from a text editor that allows line breaks, like Word, but it didn’t work in this case.

I guess you need to enter two layers.

Just for fun - depending on the underlying code implementation, maybe try:

molto\nsul point

(inserting an escaped new line char)

It would be nice to be able to insert line breaks in all the text properties. For example, I sometimes want my D.S. text to read:

D.S. al coda
(Repeats good on D. S.}

While we’re at it, I’d probably want to format the first line larger than the second.
