Yes, WinSupport just suggested something similar. I don't like this 
workaround for several reasons, not least of which is that I then 
lose the expression's auto-positioning capabilities. Also, while in 
my case I don't need the expression to print in parts, if I *did* 
want it to appear in parts, this workaround would make me go into 
each part and adjust the position of each expression, which is not good.


I think the workaround I posted (blank notation staff style) gives a 
better result.

Probably what is happening is that the notes are drawing after the 
expression. Try attaching the expression to the following system so that 
it will print after the notes.

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm that a text expression with an opaque background does 
not cover up notes and rests? I'm seeing this in WinFin2006, though it 
also seems to exist in WinFin2004.


(I'm doing a score that includes spoken word during GP measures. I did 
each line as a text expression with a frame and opaque background. When 
I place the expressions in the score, they do blot out the staff lines 
behind them, but not the rests. Changing to real rests doesn't help, and 
the same thing happens if I place the expression over notes.)


And does anyone have a workaround? Text blocks don't seem to let me do a 
frame *or* an opaque background, so they're rather useless. Only thing I 
can think of is to create each one as a graphic and import it, and 
that's a big pain in the rear.


Thanks,
Aaron.
