Hi everyone......
Is it possible to create custom text inserts that would appear at Text Menu—Inserts Submenu?

I'd like to create an "Artist" insert which I could use to more easily populate an identifier field on all the pages of a score and parts.

Thanks.

You can use any of the fields available in the score manager file info (unless you are already using all the categories). It doesn't matter what the category is called, just write your text ("Artist - soandso" or whatever) and create a text box with that insert wherever you want.

Sure, thanks… I can make that work with an unused insert
