I simply want to add lyrics in SOME WINDOW - any window - and have them show up in the proper bars in a song. And show up in the Big Lyrics window. Different tech support people and PG staff here in the forum have different opinions, they each say that their incompletely explained method is the correct way. That there is no problem. The User Guide says go to certain menu items to add lyrics, which do not exist in reality on my BIAB.

I say the program is buggy in the lyrics department. I'd be seriously willing to wager on that as a fact. I enter text in a bar and it shows up in a different bar. Or it doesn't show up at all.

Please. I need someone who is actually on a Mac and knows what's going on to please explain in detail how to add the lyrics, if it is indeed possible, which I am doubting seriously... I don't believe it's in the Manual, I've searched and searched.......

PLEASE please fix this great program so there is an easy way to add lyrics - on a Mac. To have them show-up correctly where they are supposed to be.

Thanks!

Hello Gary,

As discussed I will give you a call on Monday and we can do a remote session to run through the lyrics and try to sort out any issues.

Thanks,
Rob.

Hi Gary,

We haven't seen any problems like that, and can enter lyrics without problems.

Are there any video's on how to enter lyrics in general? I think a video on this would be helpful to me and maybe others. I use Win version but would have to think it is similiar in both programs.

Thanks,

Terry

Peter, please speak to Rob in Tech.Support.

We had a very good telephone support session this morning (Mon.), Rob has determined the Mac version does indeed have some bugginess in the Lyrics department... but showed me some work-arounds.

-And he assured me these items will be repaired and be made to be more Mac-user-friendly and intuitive in the not-too-distant future.

TerryB, the Win version works way more smoothly than its unfavored sibling, the Mac version...
