Re: [Finale] Lyrics Freakout

[Michael Withers]

Hi,

I've been caught by the same thing in opera scores where there are many parts all singing words that are almost - but not completely - identical.

I've settled on putting all vocal lines as separate 'verses' and copying and pasting them within the lyric editor. I then reapplying them to the next line (click-assign makes a good start), adjust the baseline, and I then know I can edit those lines without worrying about others vocal lines.
