there will be user-definable default settings for the Text, including not only font and size, but also leading and all other text attributes (why this is not already the case escapes me...) and for the three manners of attaching it.
contextual behaviour:
- dblclick on note = note-attached; dblclick on measure = measure-attached; dblclick on page = page-attached.
- option-dblclick on note/measure/page = brings up the Text List and automatically creates a new text (based on the default) with positioning assignment already selected according to the place the user clicked (note, measure, page); the user can immediately begin to type the new Text in the edit box. (dblclicking the handle of a Text already assigned in the score behaves same as current behaviour, edit box is immediately called up)
- option-dblclick-drag = new Text with resizable frame (for note-, measure- and page-attached Texts! YAY!) which can be edited on page (as previously with text tool); once defined, dblclick the handle to edit on page, option-dblclick to edit in Text List.
- option-shift-dblclick-drag = assigns existing Text with resizable frame, Text List is called up, user selects, hits enter, and is returned to the resizable Text box with the selected Text inserted.

That looks very good. I like the idea of being able to control parameters like that WITHOUT extra keystrokes, just changing where one clicks.
