I lead worship at a small/medium size church. I presently have a group of very dedicated but varying level of musicians. As a result I would like to simplify some of the song arrangements to more basic chords as we grow in skill level. Creating the charts and most of the time if their is a real chart printing out music is not a problem. What I have ran into is with most amateur musicians is that they rely heavily on the lyrics in the song to let them know where they are at. This is where I need some guidance. I have played around with the lyrics entry which I assume would need to be note based with varying success. Didn't find the manual real clear on this feature. It seems to be a painfully slow process. I normally do not have a melody line so that may be causing an issue as well. Maybe that is just the way it it is and I am going to have to live with it. So my question is:

- Should I continue to try and figure out lyrics in BIAB?
- Should I just export charts to Print Music and try to do the lyrics there?

I really think lyrics entry and importing them is something almost all music programs today do not handle wel, even some of the notation programs. My guess is someone coming up with a good way to enter lyrics would gain some interest in the performer side. Seems it ought to be possible with XML and other formats out there today. Anyway probably too much comment to go along with the question.

Will look forward to the responses. Happy New Year everyone!
