Regarding the post immediately above... here's a little more detail...

2016 does offer a new way of entering lyrics that might be useful. These show up on the Leadsheet.

For bar-based lyrics...

1. The playback cursor that I've called #1 on the image below travels along a region that lies directly above the stave. Click on this region so that the cursor is placed in the centre of a bar. (On the image below, I've placed it on the centre of bar 2).



2. Click on the "L" I've numbered as #2 on the image above.

3. Now enter some lyrics in the lyric box and press Enter. These lyrics will be centred in the selected bar since lyric entry is centre justified.



4. If you want lyrics over a couple of bars, simply place the cursor labelled #1 in the first image on the bar line between two bars and enter two bars worth of lyrics. See example below.




Wherever the cursor is placed and lyrics are entered, these lyrics will appear in Notation View and on the Leadsheet. Lyrics for single beats or parts of beats can also be entered this way. It's very powerful.

In a sense, this form of entry is a shortcut way of using the Lyric Event Editor.
