But that's a problem in that the underlying data storage concept forces the user to enter and the manipulate data in a particular way. It shouldn't matter how I put in the data. It should still be manupulable and the various UI options should not produce conflicting or problematic results for the other UI. The assumption that I want my lyrics to work like a source text stream, while quite useful when that is what someone actually is doing, is not necessarily a valid assumption. This seems to me to be a case like the frame-oriented structure of the Finale data format, which makes it virtually impossible for Finale to ever adequately allow the implementation of independent key signatures in simultaneous staves. Now that I understand this, I can work around the shortcomings of Finale. But knowing the workaround does not mean it's not a shortcoming. -- David W.
