I want to keep the Tacet multi-rest but hide the text. How do I do that?
There should be a multi-bar rest somewhere else.
In Engraving Options, you can specify how a multirest at the end of a piece appears.
Is there a way to hide just the âTacetâ textâwithout the numbersâat the end?
No, probably because musicians wouldnât know how to interpret a multi-bar rest that doesnât have either a number or âtacetâ over it.
If you really want to accomplish this, you can drag the âtacetâ off the page in Engrave mode. (You should be able to change the color or opacity of the âtacetâ instead, but that doesnât seem to work.)
So, is there a way to move just the âTacetâ text upward from that position?
In other places, In the other parts, the multibar rest numbers are centered.
Yes, as I said, you can do this in Engrave mode.
Is the font size of the âTacetâ text adjusted in the Paragraph Styles?
Itâs a Font Style, not a Paragraph Style â Multi-bar Rest Tacet Font.
(There seems to be a small bug here: right-clicking the âtacetâ and choosing Edit Font takes you to Multi-bar Rest Bar Count Font or Plain Font, depending on settings, not to Tacet Font. issue)
Iâm trying to add text over the âtacetâ text that Iâve moved to the top, but even when I use âTextâ and select âErase Background,â the original âtacetâ text isnât being hidden. What should I do in this case?
Why donât you just drag the original âtacetâ off the page? Then you donât need to worry about covering it up with something else.
I need to add more text, so I have to cover up the existing text.
I donât understand. If you move the existing text out of the way, then thereâs nothing to cover up.
Another thing you could do is make the background of the text youâre adding an explicit white. This should hide whatever is behind it.
