Title: lyrics of verses in a block after the score /
Post by: Marianne van Harten on 2023-02-18 12:27 am
Two questions about lyrics:
I want to create a song with lyrics of verse 1 under the notes. The other lyrics (verse 2 and more) after the score.
How do I achieve this?

When a word consist of more than one syllable AND this word is placed over two staves, the first part has a dash. The second part (at the next stave starts with a dash. I want to omit this second dash.
Regular the second dash is no problem, but when using Versenumbers.ms, the second dash is printed before the verse number, which is not beautiful.

Best regards,
Marianne

Look at the attached examples.

You can suppress the second dash if you insert a hard return after the syllable where the staff breaks.  An example follows:
