Hello Nick, 1. I am sorry, I don't have experience with iTunes and/or iVisualize. 2. You would rather set the "Image Width" parameter of the Image With String patch to control the running width of your text. If its going to exceed a certain width, it will wrap to the next line automatically. Get a "Rendering Destination Dimensions" patch to retrieve the current rendering environment parameters.
