Hi Everyone,

I'm using BIAB 2014 and trying to use the line based method to enter song lyrics. Perhaps some may wonder why not try note based lyric entry. I seldom use the melody track and never enter a midi melody. As you know note based lyric entry works only if the melody track has a midi based melody. I normally don't enter lyrics at all so this is a learning experience for me.

To summarize my experiment I click on the bar I want to start with (bar 9 in this case), open the notation window, enter the words that will be sung over the four bars, enter the "/" to indicate end of line, down arrow to the next line and repeat the process. Finally I save the song. Note: I've tried using, and not using "/" with no difference.

Use the up arrow to scroll back up and words are gone except for the words for bars 9 to 13 and the first word for each four bar line.

Change from notation to chord window or exit BIAB, reopen and reload song; same thing. Big lyrics window doesn't show any lyrics.

Since I haven't tried using lyrics before everything is pretty much at default for the notation window, all I've changed is to have guitar tab displayed and printed. I haven't made any settings for lyrics.
