Hi Michael, I rarely get problems like this, though I’ve heard of them. Often, hitting Undo restores the lyrics when they disappear, I’ve been told.
My contribution is to provide you with this website, which offers automatic hyphenation in English. Copy your lyrics into this window, hit the Hyphenate button, then copy them back out and paste them into the Finale lyrics window. You still have to check them (“Bless-ed” instead of “blessed”, for example) but it saves a ton of work. http://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator/ Christopher > On Wed Feb 8, at WednesdayFeb 8 3:47 PM, Michael Withers > <mich...@michaelwithers.co.uk> wrote: > > Dear all, > > I'm hoping the corporate wisdom of this illustrious list can help with this > problem, or at least point me in the right direction > > Everything has been going OK with Finale 25 since I upgraded. > > Yesterday I was successfully entering lyrics in my usual way (couple of > glitches but I put that down to inaccurate fingers or me not being careful). > My usual way of working is to copy/paste lyrics into the Lyrics Window, > insert the necessary hyphenation and then click-assign the lyrics to the > score. > > Today, the Lyrics Window is behaving very strangely.
