Hi Thomas and Musocity.

I've searched around for text events to lyric events and I haven't found anything other than the below script from
https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=199487

Quote
take = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake(reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive())
index = reaper.MIDI_EnumSelTextSysexEvts(take, -1)
while index > -1 do
_, _, _, _, texttype, _ = reaper.MIDI_GetTextSysexEvt(take, index, nil, nil, nil, 0, "")
if texttype == 1 then -- 1 = type "Text event"
reaper.MIDI_SetTextSysexEvt(take, index, nil, nil, nil, 5, "", true) -- 5 = type Lyrics
end
index = reaper.MIDI_EnumSelTextSysexEvts(take, index)
end
reaper.Undo_OnStateChange2(0, "Convert text events to lyrics")

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about scripting in Reaper to be able to develop this. I can certainly access the events one by and change text to lyrics. That is quite easy and quick to do.
