Score/Part name placement off borders

[apkyburz]

Hi forum,

Some help needed.

When I create the a score/part name text insert and place it on the top left of the score, it falls off-border in the parts (see gif).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Right click on the score/part name, pick Edit Frame Attributes, take a screen shot of the dialog, and post it here.

Normally you want it relative to the page margins, so if the margins are set up correctly, it will work in parts and score even if the page size is different.

Hi motet,

Here the screenshot of the Frame Attributes window.

Try changing Horizontal from Center to Left and repositioning it.

Perfect, thank you!

I also found that the page-margins for score and part were different, that together with the positioning solved it.

Thanks.

I would choose Page Edge instead of Page Margin in the attributes so that the margins won't matter. I know you solved the immediate issue, but this might be helpful in the future if you want the page margins to be different for the score. Generally you may want it wider on the left to accommodate the staff names, whereas the part doesn't need that.
