Rebecca,

I have notated many melodies with lyrics in BIAB. And every once in a while, I have come across a problem similar to the one you describe. To date, I have not been able to isolate what causes it. I have a feeling that it's related to the 'copy from...to' command. It seems to occur when notes already exist in the section where music is being copied to. It also seems to occur when 'copy to...from' has been used a number of times. When it has happened, I save the song with a different name and close and reopen BIAB.

I don't have a solution for you. What I do is what Trax above suggests. When I have a section of the song working like I want it to, I save it with a new file name. Then, if things play up, I can always go back to my previous version of the song and work from there. By the time I've finished creating a song, I've usually got around a dozen versions saved.

In your case, the only answer seems to be to re-enter the lyrics. From my experience, that won't take as long as you suspect it might.

All the best,
Noel
