3/A/7/1/ Choosing a track
For the lyrics to appear on the score, you first need to select a track. The text will
automatically get distributed over that track, following syntax (see Point 4
below).
As a general rule lyrics will be attributed to a vocal track, i.e. the track with the
song’s melodic line. You can Nonetheless choose to place them on an
instrumental track; but you will then have to check the syntax, as it is unlikely
that the melody's rhythmical beats correspond to the syllables in the lyrics.
Note also that you can choose to not attribute the lyrics to any track, and write
them on the Lyrics panel only for information. In that case, you just need to
uncheck the “Display on Track” option below the white box.
3/A/7/2/ Lines
You can type up to 5 lines of text. The lines will be displayed one under the other
on the selected track.
3/A/7/3/ The first bar
For each line, you can determine a first bar after which the lyrics will be
distributed. This is to avoid having to type spaces in before the lyrics.
