Changing the paragraph style used for lyrics

You can change the paragraph style used for individual lyrics; for example, if you want to use narrower paragraph styles for lyrics on tightly spaced systems. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the lyrics whose paragraph style you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Paragraph style in the Lyrics group.
  3. Select a paragraph style from the menu.

Result

The paragraph style used for the selected lyrics is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
