Is there a way to add text enclosures to other text than rehearsal letters (such as an enclosure around “Intro”)?
I don’t think so, but it would be a good option to have. Perhaps as part of the paragraphs styles (“boxed text”) for shift-X text? Another possibility is text frames, discussed here: 3 film score orchestration questions - #10 by Thijs_Boehme - Dorico - Steinberg Forums
A workaround is to add rehearsal letters and set the index to 9 (“I”) and the suffix to “ntro”.
Wow. I guess that would work. I am dabbling into Dorico since I have it but there are still too many work arounds required and it takes me hours to do a lead sheet I can do in 10 minutes in Finale or Sibelius.
Clever!!!
I do exactly this with a text frame. Create a text frame, type your text, go to the properties window on the bottom and select show border.
I don’t have an option to show border in the properties window on the bottom.

Peter,
__Make sure you are drawing in a text frame while in Engrave Mode, then you will see the property (while still in Engrave Mode).
Ok. Now I see what you mean. It is not text attached to a measure or the staff but on the page?
Definitely a boxed text attached to a measure is needed. Better if circle is available too
