Noel,

Amazing! Thank you for taking the time to investigate my issue and for detailing so well how to use line based lyric entry. From your explanation I now know the many, many ways I incorrectly tried to use this feature. No wonder I couldn't get it to work! The funny thing is I thought I understood the how to use instructions from the help file.

I didn't do step 1, in fact I've never seen the Notation Editor before your screenshot. Evidently the default is four bars per line since that is what my notation screen opened with. My step 1 was to use the note icon in the views area to open the notation screen.

My steps 2 & 3 and results matched yours.

Step 4 I didn't do. I don't remember save to clipboard being mentioned in the help file. I also did not switch to the Lyric Document screen.

Steps 5 or 6 I did not do. I believed lyrics are automatically saved at the same time a song file is saved. Obviously I was incorrect.

There are more steps and screens involved than I thought.

Once again Noel, thank you for your assistance.
