Hi Harold,

This was intriguing me, so I searched the internets and found this discussion. 
Let us know if it helps. It may be a bug, or simply corrupted preferences that 
cause it.

Re: [Finale] the eternal lyric bugs

[Haroldo Mauro]

I’m using Times New Roman 12. Please take a look at this image, compare the 
Lyrics Window with the music, and note how it seems that Finale chooses 
randomly where to put hyphens and where to ommit them.

Re: [Finale] the eternal lyric bugs

Well, what font are you using for lyrics? Try temporarily setting it to Times 
New Roman and see if the hyphens suddenly appear after you update layout.

Thank you Chuck, that helps hyphenating, but I don't see how it could  
help making Finale stop hiding the hyphens I typed. And it is not  
because of tight space, as Christopher pointed out. There is plenty of  
space.

Re: [Finale] the eternal lyric bugs

[Christopher Smith]

Retyping them won’t help. Finale eliminates the hyphen when it judges the 
spacing to be too tight to let it be legible. Opening up a bit of space might 
help, or using a slightly more compact lyric font. Or maybe your lyric font 
doesn’t have a FAN, so Finale thinks all the characters are super-wide? That’s 
just a thought.

Harold,

Don't know what's going on with Finale, but I do know that there is an 
auto-hyphenating website where you can copy in your lyric and it does a 
reasonable job of hyphenation. 

I'll send the URL when I am back at my computer.

[Finale] the eternal lyric bugs

[Haroldo Mauro]

Just finished adding lyrics to my score. Finale shows hiphenation only where it 
wants too. Some words have them some don’t, despite their being there, visible, 
in the Lyrics Window. Is there a solution for that? Do I have to type 
everything again?
