Find and Replace

This function allows you to replace all occurrences of a certain word or group of words, with another word or group of words. The replacement is done once and for all, for all text symbol types, regardless of font, size and style settings. Proceed as follows:

1. Pull down the Score menu and select “Find and Replace” from the Text Functions submenu.
A dialog appears.

2. Enter the word(s) to replace in the “Find” value field.
3. If you want all instances of the word(s) to be replaced, regardless of upper/lower case, activate the “Ignore Case” option.

4. If you don’t want to replace the word(s) if they are a part of another word, activate the “Entire Word” option.
For example, if you want to replace the word “string” but not the word “stringendo”, you should activate “Entire Word”.

5. Enter the word(s) that should be used as replacement in the “Replace” field. 6. Click OK.

 

Now all occurences of the “Find” word(s) will be replaced with the “Replace” word(s).
