Okay....

1) I am working with a Nashville recording artist on the music for her next album. Thanks for the karaoke suggestion, but it won't really work for me in this case.

2) I don't know how it's supposed to work. But, since the quoted documentation, from above, says:

"If a song has lyrics (or other text) in the Lyric Memo or Lyric Document, these lyrics will show up on the Big Lyrics window, so that they can be seen during playback"

I was nevertheless expecting to see lyrics in the Big Lyrics window during playback. And, as I said, I didn't. And rather than ask why, or what's wrong, I asked for a pointer to some further documentation or a tutorial on lyrics in general. This is not the only issue with lyrics that doesn't match the documentation that I've found so far.

3) The reason for trying to do what I'm trying to do is, we are arranging and re-arranging songs right now and recording some scratch tracks of the vocals. Telling her to "memorize the lyrics", when the order of things is changing every 5 minutes - and possibly, the lyrics, too, is all fine and dandy. But, it would be a lot easier if she could just see the lyrics on a line basis, above the chords, during playback. Easier than remembering, for example, no, don't start the next verse yet, there's a 4-bar turnaround first - this time.

4) I'd rather just have line based lyrics. But, attempting to do that doesn't seem to match the documentation at all, so that's already a failure for me. E.g. when I press Ctrl-L to do "Enter lyrics at current bar", I get a text box and some buttons labeled "Line", "Para", etc.. that I can't find ANY documentation for. I press Ctrl-L again and that bit goes away. But, then when I type in what are supposed to be line-based lyrics, I still can't ever get them to show anywhere during playback.

So, again, can anybody point me to documentation (that actually matches what's happening on my screen in BiaB 2012) or a tutorial or something that explains all the different ways of entering lyrics and having them displayed during playback?

Thanks.
