How can I add system text in the score?

[Rnekeratorl]

I'd like to add system text to a score in Logic, similar to this which I made in Musescore; one piece of text that displays in all parts of a system. Is it possible? Is it also possible to add rehearsal marks?

[Atlas007]

I think that all of this is possible, depending where you are inserting the text:

• Overview of lyrics and text in a score in Logic Pro
• Add global text to a score in Logic Pro
• Add automatic text to a score in Logic Pro

I think for sure too......

No, it's not global text, lyrics, normal text or automatic text what I'm seeking; it's a kind of text that many notation programs have that I cannot find in Logic: the system text, which is not bound to any part but to an entire system of staffs inside the score.

Notice how the "rall..." in my Musescore attempt only appears once in the general score but renders in all parts simultaneously in the same measure. Same with the rehearsal letters. Something like these two other examples.

There are two obvious and fundamental orchestral scoring features that Logic Score lacks: tremolo slashes that attach to notes, and System Text. Sadly, pertaining to your question, there is no function that automatically renders tempo directions in all orchestral parts from a singular appearance in the conductor’s score (or twice, as they sometimes appear above the first violins or below the basses.)

This issue comes up in the forum about once every year, and discussion of work-arounds ensue (after the “Global Text” answer is suggested, which — you are correct — is not what we seek). 

The best I can offer is the hand-copying of such tempo directions (or rehearsal letters) to every staff in a “master part score” which renders a butt-ugly conductor’s score (not to be seen in daylight) but separates into correct parts per instrument — an inelegant solution. Then I’ll print out a correct conductor’s score separately. 

Track alternatives can be useful here. 

We are right to defend Logic’s scoring features to the common naysayers who use dedicated scoring programs. They don’t have a fraction of the power we have in Logic. But we Logic Score denizens need to continually “invite” Logic developers to include this feature.

I understand now, plowman is correct. you can use the past multiple at original position - which quickly gets all the parts with the text ( but the "All instruments" set or any user defined score set) will have the text on each staff instead of just one one staff.

Well, at least now I know for certain that I cannot do it how I want it. Thanks anyway for the explanation.
