You don't have to do it this way, but I'd add an extra staff to the systems where the lyrics are being sung, and place the melody in the desired range, and the lyrics in that extra score. In systems where the instrments of the orchestra are playing, but no singing is occurring, the staff assigned to the melody and lyrics can be hidden by any of the usual means. I think that assigning the lyrics to one of the existing instruments will imply to a conductor that such lyrics are to be sung by members of the the section under which the lyrics appear, and not necessarily by the whole group, or by the audience. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
