I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of an errant hyphen in lyrics. I can re-type the syllables into the score, but the hyphen just seems to move around at will. I've tried going into the EDIT LYRICS dialogue, but as luck would have it, this portion of lyrics somehow doesn't show up there. Other chucks of lyrics are missing from there as well.
I've tried covering the yphen with an opaque note expression to cover it up, but whenever i redwraw the screen the hyphen reappears. It doesn't seem to be affected by these cover-ups.
I've already spent at least a half hour on this one little stupid thing. I've turned off Smart Hyphens and Word Extensions, but to no avail. I really don't feel like re-entering the lyrics. Afterall, this is a 130 page document, and Finale is starting to run really slowly. I'm in the final stages of creating this, so any step backwards is a huge one.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how to make the opaque expressions work?
Ryan,
This problem appears when you type in a word with more than one syllable and abandon it before the whole word is entered. It create an orphan hyphen, sometimes more than one. Find the multiple-syllable word closest before the orphan hyphen and replace it together with the continuing syllable(s). In future, never leave a word with hyphen before you have entered the whole word.
