The Message window displays text generated by a Lyric Track or script. View this window by clicking Message Window on the Add-Ins menu.

Note Messages generated during playback are shown only if the segment is playing on an audiopath that includes PChannel 1.

An error encountered in a script routine is described in the Message window along with the line number of the code causing the error, as shown in the following figure.

You can also place Performance.Trace commands in a script routine to send messages to the window. For example:

Trace "Entered PlayIt routine."

The text associated with the Trace command appears in the Message window when the command is executed.

The Message window displays errors and Trace statements for scripts executed from within the Script Designer, as well as those executed by a segment's Script Track.
