Am I missing something? > > Linda Worsley Linda, you are not alone! Most of my work in Finale is with lyrics; choral and solo-songs, multiple verses, endings ect. In the beginning (version 2.06) I used Click Assignment but for many years I have typed directly into score. No problems in Edit Lyrics. No problems with Word Extensions except for getting the lengths the same in multiple verses. My problems is Baseline, but I know that somewhere there is a dialog box into which I could type some numbers to get the baselines right, I'm just haven't yet spent the time I should do to find it. So, you are not the only person on Finalelist who has almost NO trouble using Finale's lyric entry system. Could it be we are using some different program!!! -- Jon Kristinn Cortez Publisher - Conductor - Music Teacher Reykjavik Iceland www.isalog.is _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
