3/A/7/4 The lyrics
The capture area is to type in the lyrics properly speaking.
Guitar Pro automatically distributes each syllable over a different beat. The
change of syllable occurs when a SPACE ( ) or a HYPHEN (-) appears. You may
thus use the hyphens to separate syllables in a word. If you do not wish Guitar
Pro to separate two words, however, you can replace the space in between them
with PLUS (+) symbol.
If you wish to leave a blank on a given beat, just add several hyphens or
consecutive spaces.
The line breaks are considered as spaces. On the other hand, several line breaks
constitute only one space. You can thus make your text more open without
problems.
Parts of a text set in between brackets ([]) will not appear on the score. You can
thus utilize the brackets to add comments or indicate the headings of various
parts (“INTRO,” “VERSE,” “CHORUS,” ...).
3/A/8/ Adding sections
3/A/8/1/ What is a section?
Sections are markers that allow you to easily get to any part of the score. They
can be set as letters and/or names (Intro, Chorus, Verse, etc.).
The markers are tied to the bars, and are therefore linked to the master track.
To add sections, you can:
Click on the section icon from the Edition Palette.
Use the Section > Edit menu.
You can navigate between sections by use of the shortcut keys. (Cf. Shortcut
Keys.)
