The Text Tool.2. Click anywhere in the score.

1. Select the text.
2. Select “Text settings” from the Do pop-up menu.
3. Use the Font pop-up, the size setting and the style options in the dialog box that appears.
The fonts you find on the menu depend on what fonts you have installed in Windows. The quality of their printout also depends on what type of font they are and what kind of printer you use. Generally, TrueType fonts (preceded by a “TT” symbol on the pop-up) and PostScript fonts (if you have a PostScript printer) will print fine in any size.
The font and size settings you just made will also apply to all the text you input onwards (until you change them, of course).
P On your font menu you will also find one or more Cubase fonts. These are not intended for text, but for the non-text symbols used in the program.
Using the keyboard short-cuts (not the menus) you can Cut and Paste text. Select some text, press [Ctrl]-[X] or [Ctrl]-[C] to Cut or Copy. Click for a new insertion point, and press [Ctrl]-[V] to Paste.
P These are the default key commands. In the Preferences–Key Commands–Edit Menu dialog, you can select other keys for Cut, Copy and Paste if you like.To change the size or type face of a block of text, select it and then select “Text Settings” from the Score menu, as described above.
