I would like to add dialogue through 12 bars to be spoken ad lib. As the spoken dialogue has no particular rhythm, I added slash notation rather than rhythm notation to the 12 bars.
I then used the text feature to type in the words below those bars. The problem is that the bars are not wide enough. I have tried to increase the width of bars using the spacing but I couldn’t get this to do what I need for all 12 bars.
I’d appreciate any help with this. thanks.
Depending on the context where this appears, simply adding a system break earlier than happens by default might prompt the remaining bars in the system to be sufficiently wide.
Otherwise, insert a note spacing change at the start of the bar with a larger value, then reset back to the default note spacing at the end of the bar.
Why do you not use shift-x text, which accepts line breaks, so you can write as much text as you like in each?
Thanks for replying Lillie and Janus.
That spacing change is new to me so will look into that.
