Firstly, when you open the song, save it with a new name so that it's always possible to get back to the original version if you need to. For example, if the song is my_song.sgu, I'd save it as my_song_2016.sgu and then use this new file to work with.

The couple of times I've played around with a song that had line-based lyrics, they were automatically converted to bar-based lyrics. I know that Support have modified the behaviour of line- and bar-based lyrics in recent updates.

With the above in mind, try clicking the "Chord Display" icon and then activating both the Section Text and Bar Lyrics layers. It may be that the lyrics are available in one of these locations.

Regards,
Noel
