Playing Techniques - Boxed text

Hi there. Is there an easy way to create a text “playing technique” item with a box around? Thanks!

First: create a paragraph style with the features you want.
Second: create a PT and apply that paragraph style to it.

Thanks for the reply. I did manage to create a paragraph style with boxed text. I can use it when I enter text on the score. However when I edit my new playing technique item I don’t see any option to choose from the paragraph styles.

I see text styles when I use the glyph option, but not the paragraph styles list.

Am I missing something?

My bad, sorry.
I thought PT used Paragraph Styles.
Instead, they use Font Styles, which apparently do not (yet?) support boxed text.

I have found a workaround.
By using a boxed font (I use the Pori fonts) which already include the box line. You need then to use brackets [ and ] at the start and end, but it works!
