2 questions about lyrics and lead sheet:
1)I can enter lyrics but they are in a wrong place in the printed version. They are too low and the lyrics are on the same level of the porint as the chords of the next line. How can I adjust the line where the lyrics will be printed?
2) I have omitted the lead in bars of the song but there is still the lead in bar on the printed version. How can I get rid of that?

I found an old thread but still I can't print a proper lead sheet. The lyrics overlap the next line of chords. Every time my way to get out of this problem is to print a lead sheet without lyrics and then write the lyrics on the paper. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=395081&an=0&page=6

Hi Matti, When I read through your posts, it sounded to me like you might need to adjust the lyrics position and display on the stave. To do this ... - Go to Leadsheet Mode and then select "Opt" (#1).
- In the window that pops up, select "Notation Options" (#2).
- Now enter a value in the "Lyric Position" box (#3). A negative value will move the lyric down in the direction of lower notes and a positive value will lift the lyrics higher on the treble stave. I suggest trying -1, -2 or -3 to begin with.
- It might also be necessary to reduce the bars-per-line display. This is especially true if there is a large number of eighth notes in the melody and lyrics are attached to each note. A value of 2 or 3, rather than 4, in the "Fakesheet bars/line" box (#4) generally solves visual clutter on the display and the printout.
 To get a good printout, I also find it beneficial to do the following ... - Set the number of staves per page in the "Print" options. To do this, enter "Lead Sheet" mode and select "Print" (#1).
- From the menu that pops up, deselect "Auto-set" (#2). (Auto-set automatically sets the number of staves per page and I find that it sometimes crowds the display).
- Lastly, enter a value for "Staves per page". I usually find that 7 or 8 gives a good result.
- Sometimes I also set the "Font Size" (#4) to a lower value - say, 18 or 20.
 Hope this helps, Noel
