EEEEE HAAAAW,

Finally had a chance to try Meg's suggestion and it works beautifully!



I was wondering what you did to solve the problem so I looked through this whole thing trying to see who "Meg" was. LOL

Glad to hear it worked well!

I always thought the correct solution was to move from line based to note lyrics. Certainly, with any new tunes you enter, it is the best way. I don't really have the same on-screen need as yours but I did try converting some of my old BB tunes - without as much success as you are having.



In this case, an entire line of line based lyrics is being copied into the note based lyrics as if it were a single word. The note based lyric entry system will apparently accept a long string of characters, including spaces, as if it were a single word. It uses an "enter" or "tab" to separate one word from the next. So a whole line of words can be entered, followed by an "enter". The spaces between the words are simply treated as other characters in the lyric "word" (which they are, actually). This whole "lyric" is then aligned with a single note, which is placed wherever the lyric line needs to appear. There are no actual melody notes, just one note per line for positioning the lyric.

The lyrics are still in the form of a line of text, and are not note based in the sense that that each word or syllable is associated with a note. But they are still note based and will show up in Real Band, for example.
