Purpose

A custom box may contain a single cell, a single staff line or an OLE object, just like the boxes inserted by the Cell Box, Staff Box, Insert Object and Text Box commands. In addition, it allows you define formatting options for your box, like default position and size, borders and margins, and wrapping behaviour.

1. In the Custom Box dialog choose Options, then choose Create.
2. Type a name for your custom box style.
3. Choose which kind of contents to associate with your new box style:
   • Cell.
   • Staff.
   • OLE Object.
   • Text
4. To define settings for box position, size, borders, margins and wrapping behaviour, choose Edit to display the Format Box dialog.
5. Choose OK.
