SCORE 4.0
Text Commands

You can get help and information about text commands in SCORE by adding a question mark before the first letter of a command. For example, if you type ?a in command mode, a list of all commands which start with the letter a will be described. If you type a number instead of a letter, the commands applicable for a given code item (P1 value) will be listed instead, such as for notes: ?1.

General Commands

Insertion Commands: commands which add items to the score

Text commands which add items when in command mode. These commands are shortcuts for creating various items. They should normally be followed by 2 or 3 numbers (item parameters 2, 3, 4). Where P2 = the staff to add the item to; P3 = horizontal position of the item (from 0 far left to 200 far right); and P4 = vertical position.

In the table below, the command is given in the first column. The second column gives a description of what the command adds to the music, and the third column lists the code item number of the added object (P1). Numbers following the slash indiate secondary data from another parameter which is useful to describe the object. For example code 9 items list the number of the graphical object being displayed after the slash; the number after the slash for barlines indicates the P5 barline type style.
