Graham -

Have you tried this. There is a command to convert line based lyrics to bar based lyrics. Then, once converted, delete the bar based lyrics (or use them, whichever). Just a thought.

From the user manual:
Quote:
In the previous versions, there were line-based lyrics, which could be entered for each line on the Notation Window.
You can no longer enter this type of lyrics, but if your existing song has line-based lyrics, Band-in-a-Box can
convert them to bar-based-lyrics. This option allows you to choose how the conversion should occur when the song
with line-based lyrics opens. The default is “Always (auto-split),” which will convert line-based lyrics to bar-based
lyrics and splitting them into 4 bars. If you choose “Always (don’t split),” line-based lyrics will be converted but
they won’t be split into 4 bars. You can also choose not to convert line-based lyrics automatically. If the current
song has line-based lyrics, you can press the [Convert now] button to convert them to bar-based lyrics.
