For some reason, The title of my compositions will appear in say the clarinets but not the trumpets or percussion. Title is on the score and was created during initial setup of score. Help.

Sometimes when you go to the part view, the title is actually "above" the part, so see if you can drag it down a tiny bit. If not, print a .pdf file of the part and see how it turns out.

A lot of the time I've found that even with magnetic layout on, sometimes the title appears off the page.

I am aware this thread is ancient, but I just had this issue and came up with tres simple and effective solution.

When title is showing on some parts and not others, CMD/CTRL-X, CUT, and I repeat CUT the title from a part wherein it's showing correctly, then paste it onto the afflicted part. It should populate the title across all parts.

If you try to create a new title where it's missing or COPY/paste the onto the part where it's missing it will make a big mess. The cut/paste solution works, just did it.

First post to the forum, hope it's useful to someone out there!

When this happens it's usually because the title text is not attached to the very first bar and the parts in question have multirests at the start. IN THE SCORE, Use [ctrl/cmd]x to cut the title and then select the very first bar, even if it is a pickup bar and paste ([Ctrl/cmd]v it there. If there are places where it is off the top of the page, drag the top staff down until it arrives on the page and then drag it into place.
