Well, as I just got finished saying in the response to David F, when lyrics go screwy, I think the best approach is generally to clear them all out and start over. But since you ask, here's one thing you might try. It's not entirely clear from your post, but if I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like all of your assignments are keying to several syllables two far down the list. If that's the case, you can fix it by adding dummy syllables to the front of the list in the Edit Lyrics box. For example, if your text is "Twin-kle, twin-kle, lit-tle star, how I won-der what you are" and the first syllable that appears on your printout is "der", then your assignments are off sync by 10 syllables. If you insert at the beginning of the Edit Lyric box so that it now reads "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Twin-kle, twin-kle [...]" etc, then you should be back on track, as the file ignores the first 10 syllables and starts with the 11th one. (By the way, if somewhere in the course of your editing of this file you went into the Edit Lyrics box and deleted some extraneous text from the beginning of your text, that would explain how you got off-sync in the first place.) mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
