I'm in the middle of a very long chart that originally had a D.S al
Coda. But the page turns to go back were not workable so I'm going
to write it straight through.
The chart involves a vocal line with "verse one" and "verse two"
lyrics on the original D.S.. So I copied the music and lyrics to
the new measures I attached to the end of the chart. So now of
course I need to get rid of "verse two" in the first section and
"verse one in the second section.
Is there a way to do this, with mass mover or a plug-in? If I just
try and erase "verse one" in the added section, it erases them in
the first section as well. I presume because I copied them there.
A better way to organise that is to erase all the lyrics from the
second section with the Mass Mover, then go to the Edit Lyrics
window, cut with command X the lyrics from verse 2 and paste them
into the verse 1 window. Then go to Click Assignment and alt-click
(opt-click for Mac) on the first note of the new verse and all those
lyrics will be assigned. Use Shift Lyrics to adjust for melismas.
This method also ensures that all the lyrics have the same baseline.
