Description
Your idea
When writing music for organ, it is very common to have an instruction box below the title detailing the stops the performer is to use.
I would like a specific option in the Add -> Text menu, called "Instructions". This would be another text box that appears directly under the title box.
In addition to this, it would be very pleasant to have an option in preferences that automatically adds this instruction box to new scores if organ is the only instrument in the score.
Problem to be solved
There is no dedicated option for this.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
This box would be titled instructions, because it is really meant for any instructions to a player for preparing their instrument.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Add -> Text menu and the preferences for new-score defaults, then trace how the title box is created and positioned. Done means an Instructions text box can be added below the title and can be enabled automatically for new scores containing only organ instruments.
