OK, I realized what I was doing wrong, and finally got the music
pasted without the lyrics. I think that's a better method anyway
because it forces me to go through all of the music putting in the
new lyrics, and so I'm more likely to find all the changes in the
musical text that way.
But the original lyrics are still messed, the ones that got edited by
mistake from the copy. The two phrases that got edited have been
corrected now, but I'm getting double hyphens.
Instead of:
Te de - cet hy - mnus De - us in Si- on
I'm getting:
Te de - cet -hy -- -mnus-De -- us -in Si -- -o-n, -- -- -- etc.
--- -- -- -- ----
(-- in the second line means an overstrike)
It's as though I've got two sets of lyrics on one baseline, and one
is a big long word extension.
When I choose EDIT LYRICS, this text is not even there!
I don't understand, and this is pretty damned confusing and difficult
