Hi!

I have a piece that has multiple sections that have their own mini titles. I added those titles as system text, but the result has two shortcomings:

![text-vs-tempo](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/steinberg/original/3X/0/4/045cac44f20d4f56072b78d93cf65ba268d9ccf6.png)

1. I would like the title to sit above the tempo marking. These two clash at almost all of these spots since most of the sections have their titles and a tempo marking.
2. The second one is more of a aftereffect: The “rit.” flies up in the air because it is defined to reach all the way to the new tempo marking. (I could of course change this by reducing the “line”.)

Is there an option somewhere that would set the title above the tempo, thus solving both issues at once?  
I have scrolled through the engraving options sections “Text” and “Tempo”, but nothing there caught my eye.

Thanks, everyone 🙂
