IWBNI there were a utility that could be used to check spelling in all text in a given document.

This could be implemented by adding a menu item called Check Spelling to the Plug-ins menu. This item would display a new dialog box called Check Spelling that could contain the following controls:

----------------------------------------------
Check Spelling Dialog Box

Check Spelling In:
[ ] Page Text Blocks
[ ] Measure Text Blocks
[ ] Text Expressions
[ ] Staff Names
[ ] Group Names
[ ] Text Repeats
[ ] Ending Repeats
[ ] Lyrics

[Select All] [Select None] [Check] [Cancel]
----------------------------------------------

When a word is found that is not in the dictionary, a dialog box could be displayed with the following buttons: Replace, Replace All, Ignore, Ignore All, Learn, Edit Dictionary and Stop.

The dictionary could include musical terms such as ritardando, ponticello, appoggiatura and bisbigliando.
