Inserting Lyrics
You can insert lyrics that are tied to the note position.
Procedure
Result
The lyrics are inserted and centered horizontally around the note and vertically positioned to where you clicked.
After Completing This Task
You can move, duplicate or delete lyrics with the usual techniques. You can change the font, size, and style for the text in the Score Settings dialog (Text tab).
The positions of the notes are automatically adjusted so that no lyric block overlaps another. If this is not what you want, activate Don’t Sync Lyrics in the Lyrics category of the Score Settings dialog (Project–Notation Style page). This way, the note positions are not affected.
When entering words with several syllables, you normally separate the syllables with a dash. By default, the dash signs are automatically centered between the syllables. If this is not what you want, activate Don’t Center Hyphens in the Lyrics category of the Score Settings dialog (Project–Notation Style page).
When you first enter lyrics, the words may take up more space than the notes. To automatically adjust the bar widths, use the Auto Layout function.
