Showing lyrics in italics

You can show individual lyrics in an italic font without changing their font style, lyric type, or staff-relative placement.

Procedure

  1. Select the lyrics you want to show in an italic font. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Italic in the Lyrics group.

Result

The selected lyrics are shown in an italic font.

Tip

If you want to show lyrics in an italic font because they are intended to be either chorus lyrics or translation lyrics, you can change their lyric type instead.

If you want all normal lyric lines to appear in an italic font project-wide, you can change the font style of the Lyrics Font.
