Adjustment of lyrics to the score 2013-03-03 10:30 pm Until now adjustment of lyrics to the score works just fine. And it still does if I type it myself.However I downloaded a nwc piece and I wanted to correct in some places where for instance I wanted a syllable to go with a number of notes instead of one.If I use in that case the trick with ";" normally the next syllable shifts to the note after the slur. But in this piece it shifts too far!In the lyrics I find no unknown characters. I removed a portion of the lyrics and typed them again: problem stays!It is a piece (Missa tempore quadrigesimae; the credo-2) with 6 whole notes/ measure.Can somebody help me with this?

Press Cntl/E. Under Notes, look for "Lyric Syllable" on the right side near the center. Choose "Never" and press OK.HTH Quote Selected

I used to achieve the same effect using the right amount of underscores and spaces in the Lyrics. But this is by far easier and neater. Quote Selected

When you are sure you NEVER want a syllable on specific notes, you can just change the notes. Quote Selected
