I guess I need to admit up front that I'm not 100% sure what bar-based and line-based lyrics are. I've always assumed that bar-based lyrics are those you see when the notation window is open, where you're reading four bars at a time, and that line based lyrics are -- well, I'm not real sure what line-based lyrics are.

But yeah, if what I just described above is actually notation-based lyrics, then that is what I prefer. Also having a leadsheet with both notation and lyrics would be acceptable as well. And I'd of course want to be able to print out these leadsheets showing both notation and lyrics.

Now, what I used to see that I don't see anymore is the four-bars that scroll across the screen, showing both the melody and lyrics. Whatever you call this is what I want back.

Best,
Michael
