I copy my written lyrics onto the lyric box, verse by verse, and click in hyphens where they make sense to the singers and meter of the music. It helps me to get the accents correct, and to get the important consonants connected to the beginning next syllable. Doing it this way insures for me that it will work, or else change the note value, beat number it falls on, etc. until it does. I would not want to do it with a program. Are you wishing for this because you do a lot of copying of old music?
