You can still use the Edit Lyrics window if you like. Just be sure to enter them in a separate verse, set to the same font and baseline. The problem you encountered comes from trying to insert into a verse that is already set, which will generally cause undesired results unless you really know what you're doing. Your instincts are good, in wanting to click assign your lyrics all at once, rather than in a hodgepodge and disorganized way. Just remember that any time you need to go back and add a new batch of lyrics, put them in an empty verse. If you put them into a verse that is already occupied, you might disturb the earlier lyrics in that verse; if you put them into a new verse, the old ones will be left alone. (Actually, you're usually safe adding them to an existing verse so long as you're sure to add them only to the end of the list; but it's safer still to use a fresh verse.) I don't even know what the limit on number of verses is, but it's far far more than anyone would ever need for real verses. I frequently make use of multiple verses to keep my lyric syllables under control, even when it's really just one verse in the song. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
