To Whom It May Concern:
First, I find, to my disappointment, that 2k4 does not fix a lyrics issue I previously reported, in which editing previously entered lyrics via "type into score" and "edit lyrics" do not give the same result. To see this, create a new document, containing two staves, with two measures in common time, all filled with quarter notes. Assign as a lyric syllable to each note on the upper staff the hexidecimal digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and to each note on the lower staff the digits 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, and f. Save this document. Usng "type into score": 1) change "7" to "seven"; 2) select the syllable "seven", and backspace to remove the last two letters, and attempt to type a hyphen, and then the second syllable. Compare the result with what you obtian when you open a new copy of the document, and using "edit lyrics" 1) change 7 to seven 2) insert a hyphen so that it reads "sev-en"; close the menu and observe the result in the score; 3) using "edit lyrics" in the lyric tool menu, remove the hyphen from seven, and remove the space between the seven and 8; close the menu and observe the result in the score; 4) using "edit lyrics, replace the space between the seven and eight, and the hyphen in seven. Close the menu and observe the result in the score. As long as editing lyrics via the two methods can have different results, this fact should be mentioned in the documentation. As to the feature requests: I'd still like to see search and replace in the lyrics tool, and given the new "smart word extensions" feature, when one right-clicks on the extension handle, I would really like to see an option to delete the extension assigned to that syllable. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
