Text block

A text block may be used in a melody to provide lyrics or other text-information.

Click on an existing text block to edit the underlying text.

If no text block exists yet you'll be asked whether to create one.

The corresponding text file will be embedded within the MusiCAD file.

A text block may contain a few formatting add-ons:

''italics''	text between two quotes will display italics
'''bold'''	text between two quotes will display bold
[X]	chord symbol within text block
[!!]	hard page break
[!]	conditional page break
[:]	simple column divider splitting page in two - equivalent to [1:2]
[N:M]	advanced column divider. Use [1:3] en [2:3] to obtain three columns

Example:

     Y si [C]Adelita se [G7]fuera con [C]otro[:]Y si a caso yo muero en la guerra
     la segui[F]ría por tierra y por [G]mar[:]Y si en la sierra me van a sepultar
     si por mar en un buque de [C]guerra[:]Adelita, por Dios te lo ruego
     si por [G7]tierra en un tren mili[C]tar.[:]Que no vayas por mi a llorar.
        Y si Ade[G7]lita quisiera ser mi es[C]posa
        y si Ade[G7]lita fuera mi mu[C]jer
        le compraría un ves[C7]tido de [F]seda 
        para lle[C]var la a bai[G7]lar al cuar[C]tel.

All alphabets and diacritics are allowed within a text block, but will be stored in code form to keep MusiCAD-files 7-bit ascii.
