Hi, I'm working on a song and today for the first time I added the lyrics to it. That went fine but when I tried to print it as a fake sheet it shows the chords but not the lyrics. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Have you tried viewing a tutorial video to see if you're overlooking a step?
Check the "Beginner" section for the lyric related video.

Juan,

Also...

What kind of lyrics did you add? Were they note-based lyrics or bar-based lyrics, or if you have an older version of BIAB, were they line-based lyrics?

Regards,
Noel

The Biab video is showing the old method where I'm using Biab 2018 for windows. Inputting the bar based lyrics wasn't difficult. My problem was the printing of the chords together with the lyrics.

Unless I've missed something, bar-based lyrics don't seem to show up on the Lead Sheet view.

That said, I did manage to print them fine to a pdf file (see the upper image below).

To achieve this, I used the settings shown on the lower image. These settings are achieved by opening Lead Sheet mode.

Regards,
Noel

Thnx Noel96 that was very helpful. Sometimes there are so many settings in biab, one misses one... :-)
