Dear Crystal, The safest method, I think, is to enter all the notes, then add lyrics afterwards. That way you are less likely to get them scrambled, and you will also have a better idea of how the spacing will come out. I don't always include lyrics in the MM spacing dialog if I think they will fit reasonably well with just a few nudges here and there. I think Finale tends to skew the rhythm too much in order to keep the lyrics from crowding. In a tight squeeze it's perfectly OK to have syllables slightly off the center justification for some notes in order to keep the rhythm from being skewed too badly. I've found TGTools very helpful with lyrics.
