The reason not to use type in score is that it creates a text stream that doesn't really match the real text being set *unless* you have very carefully ordered your typing in a way that will create a comprehensible text in the actual data store. With click assignment, you always know what the relationship is between the two. You can have a human readable ordered version of the text in Edit LyricsWell, this does not match my experience. I have found that type into score adds since WINFIN 2k creates the lyrics area of the data file by placing the syllables sequentially, that the syllables are in the order in which they appear in the score, and the syllables attached to the various staves are in the order in which the respective first syllables of each stave were entered. If among the four staves of a work, the first syllable of each line were entered in the order "Alto, bass, tenor, soprano", it is my experience that this is the order that the syllables of each line appear in the lyrics data section of the file.
I am curious to know, though, David, when your experience with type into score occurred. I know I have seen files where the lyrics appear differently than I expect, but at the moment I do not recall if these were Encore files imported into Finale (which I have done a few times), or whether they were files created by early versions.
