RESULT

The text you entered into the popover is input as lyrics of the type indicated by the icon on the

left-hand side of the popover.

If you advanced the popover to the next note by pressing - , a hyphen appears after the last

entered lyric. This is used for multi-syllabic words across multiple notes.

If you advance the popover by pressing Space , a gap appears after the last entered lyric. This is

used for single-syllable words or for the nal syllable in multi-syllabic words.

● You can later change whether a gap or a hyphen appears between lyrics by changing their

syllable type.

● You can also input lyrics by copying and pasting them, for example, from an external text

editor.
