You can change the text shown in tacets in each layout independently.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L to open Layout Options.
  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts whose tacet text you want to edit.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar, clicking and dragging across multiple layouts, Shift-clicking adjacent layouts, and Ctrl/Cmd-clicking individual layouts.

  3. In the category list, click Players.
  4. In the Tacets section, enter the text you want in the Tacet text field.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The text shown in all tacets in the selected layouts is changed.

Tip

You can change the default padding to the right/left of tacets, show them with/without a border, and change their border thickness project-wide by editing the Tacet paragraph style.
