For best lyric entering functionality, be sure you have 'L' pressed and
pencil tool chosen.  

  - Use CTRL + '-' (dash) to enter dashes  
  - Move between lyrics with TAB & SHIFT+TAB.

Q:  If I try to add a four letter lyric to the rebuilt file at the 11th 
    measure at beat 2, 240 on the third track, it messes up all my notes. 
    It doesn't happen if you add only a one letter, two letter, or three 
    letter word. It has to be at least 4 letters.

A:  Since there is phycically no room to enter in a lyric, the text does get
    pushed (as well as the rest of the music). All you need to do is to use
    the Spacing tool and move that note to the left a little and then you can
    enter in the lyric.

Lyrics - Second verse under First?
Q:  I have put together a score on a song I have written.  So far I have the
    first verse and chorus with its lyrics and notation.  I am about to work
    on the second verse, but would like to be able to write the lyrics of the
    second verse underneath the lyrics of the first verse.  

    Is there a way to go to the first page of the score where I have the first
    verse, and then add the lyrics to the second verse, below the lyrics of 
    the first verse? Since the notes are the same for both verses, it's easier
    to do that than to have to start the second verse on a blank staff line.


A:  Select the Lyrics tool (L). Then you can select from Lyric 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Q:  I have four lines in my music. One for the rhythm guitar, one for the 
    lead guitar, and then a tab line for each of them. I have no line for 
    the lyrics but I still want to include the lyrics in my score, just so
    people will be able to follow along with them. 

    Unfortunately, every time I add lyrics, it always adjusts my song because
    it thinks that I'm trying to add the lyrics to my guitar lines, so 
    everything gets all screwed up. Is there a way to just add lyrics to 
    the score without having them be attached to the music? I sure hope so.


A:  The lyrics feature actually puts the lyrics underneath your desired track.
    If you click on the L tool, you can add lyrics underneath the desired 
    track notes. If something is changing and you don't want it to, you could
    use the Text tool (T tool) and move the text where you want so it won't
    interfere with the notes. See the help file for further details.
    However, there isn't any sort of stand alone text entry screen to enter
    your lyrics.
