Changing the placement of individual lyrics relative to the staff

You can change the placement of individual lyrics relative to the staff after they have been input.

Procedure

  1. Select the lyrics whose staff-relative placement you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, choose one of the following options for Line placement in the Lyrics group:
    • Above

    • Below

Result

The staff-relative placement of the selected individual lyrics is changed.

Note

If other lyric lines with the same lyric line number already exist at the same position on the same side of the staff, the two lines collide. To avoid this, change the lyric line number of one of the lyric lines, or change their staff-relative placement by choosing Edit > Lyrics > Placement and selecting an option from the menu, which avoids collisions.
