Title: accessing lyrics from a script
Post by: Stefan on 2004-12-22 02:19 PM
Is it possible to access the lyrics from a user tool.  What I would like to be able to do is change the lyric for the note(s) selected.  I.e If the note I selected was an A then make the lyric for the note the letter A.

This cannot be done automatically. However, it is theoretically possible with manual intervention.

A script could be written that interprets a selection and output a text report of the notes included in the selection. The report could then be pasted into a lyric box.

Thanks for that, managed to sort it so it writes to a text file.  Which saves me loads of time and then just copy and paste but can I transfer the output to the clipboard without it being pasted on screen?
