Add text to voice in OM

Hello: I am traying to add some text such as “pizz” “arco” “frull” etc to a voice, I have read some threads here but nothing works for me, I have tried some text-extra functions, but nothing. I apreciate some examples to implement.

Thanks in advance

Andrés

Dear Andres,

There are two ways to do so:

  1. Using the Extra editor:
    a) Open a VOICE
    b) Type ‘x’
    c) From the Extra Edition Palette choose the Icon with ‘A’
    d) type your text


The you can choose to place your text as you wish, You just select the added text and move it with the arrows.

  1. You can use the put-extra-text method (from Functions->Score-> Extras menu):

Dear Karim, thanks a lot, the first method works perfectly, but the second one doesn’t work, the put-extra-text has only two inlets, when I try to add new inlets the object put another one in between, but the main issue is that when I try to evaluate the put-extra-text, it gives me nil as a result, I replicated your screenshot but nothing happens
