Hi Haroldo -- This sort of thing has happened to me before, though I don't remember if it was all hyphens or just specific ones. Usually when it happens to me it's an issue with the "minimum space" setting for Smart Hyphens in the Lyrics preferences. The default, I think, is 144 (I work in EVPUs), but if I set it to a very small number, the missing hyphens reappear. Hope this helps! -- Mike _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
