After you enter the note pitch and length and the plus sign, are there other tools to control the sound of words?

Correct, Eleanor Forte is the name of the voice-bank for Synthesizer V.
I liked the name and am a big fan of the voice of Annie Lennox, so "Eleanor Lennox" was born.
Her friends call here "Lea" grin

Most Synthesizer V owner prefer the voice-bank "SOLARIA", but for female vocals I prefer the contralto range, and that's where Eleanor shines.

As for controlling the voice, you can customize tension, breathing, vibrato, timbre and a couple of other things to your taste.

And most important (as I already wrote above):
treat synthetic voices like a 'real' singer:
- find the best sounding vocal range
- emphasize the right syllables
- find a rhythmic singing pattern that supports the flow of the song
- don't request things they just can't deliver
