If you select the bar for the word you want to change and then press CTRL + L, the lyric editor will open for a note in that bar. Using tab (forward) of SHFT + tab (backward) will allow you to navigate to the note you want. After you have changed the text, make sure you press enter or tab (to save) before pressing CTRL + L to exit the lyric editor. Hope this helps, --Noel • my latest song: Seven Years (with Kevin, a Synth V vocaloid) MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

OP natcheztoo Enthusiast N Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 99 Natchez, Mississippi 39120	Noel, Thank you for your suggestion. With great trepidation I sallied forth to try your method. It did not work. It just changed back. BTW, when I hit the enter key to save the change, it did and moved forward t the next note and word. There was no word there and it was when I entered the word that the previous entry changed back. Thoughts? I will try it a couple more times, but, "Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results." Maybe. I'll report back. BIAB is a huge program and I am awed by what the coders have created. What I know is like five grains of sand on the beach in Panama City, Florida. Everything is so difficult, especially for me.

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18,962 Australia	Hi again. That is most strange. I've been writing lyrics into my BIAB songs since 2008 and I've never had this happen. First, a good principle to keep in mind is that when BIAB starts doing unusual things, it is worth trying "Return to factory settings" using the "MOST" option. That often fixes a problem. With this lyric issue, this is also worth trying... (1) click on the "#" symbol (#1 on the top image) and then click on "Edit Lyrics" (#2) (2) in the lyric editor, navigate to the lyric you want to delete and then delete it. The format of the editor is "bar number : beat number : part of a beat" Regarding the "part of a beat" (also called 'ticks'), and 1/8th note = 60, 1/16th note = 30 This should do the job for you. --Noel • my latest song: Seven Year’s (with Kevin, a Synth V vocaloid MY SONGS...

It becomes available after you actually post it. Anyway, the attachment shows up fine.
