I titled my piano piece but the text is appearing as a yellowish color.
How do I change it to black? Thanks.

1) The text will still print.
The changed colour means that the positioning linking between score and linked parts has been broken.

2) To reset the colour - and relink the positioning - switch to the Text Tool (a handle appears on the text block).
Then, context-click the text block handle.
In the context menu, choose
Relink in All Parts
