Moving the lyrics

[mrarnesen]

Question number 2 today:

Is there any way to move the lyrics? I need this to have soprano 1 lyrics above the notes, and the soprano 2 lyrics below the notes (The soprano 1 and soprano 2 is on the same system but with different lyrics).

If this is not possible, I hope you will make this work on Notion4, same with the dotted slurs.

Yes, please — ability to write lyrics above. This is an item on my wish list as well.

A work-around that almost gives acceptable results: Enter above-staff lyrics as regular text (shift-K) attached to each note. It'll do if you need it only for a measure or two, but not for an entire work.

Best,
Thorrild

I know, I've used the text button. But its not optimal at all. For a choral composer these limiations is frustrating.

It seems like the whole lyrics function should be work on a lot for the next version. You can't move them sideways either and if you hit space but wrote something wrong on the previous note you can't just hit backspace but have to click with the mouse and hit L again.

Also the underline function to extend a particular syllable to other notes is impractical and does often not work as it should.

Please work on this

I love how the voice function works though hitting ctrl 2 etc.
