- Select from a list box to kill lyrics in the selected chorus.
Move Lyric ahead to time line
Move Lyric back to time line

destination that you want, and then choose this item. You can also shift lyric times using the Lyric Event list.
Timeshift Lyrics (ticks)
Insert Beat(s) in Lyrics
Delete Beat(s) from Lyrics
- These are functions that apply to the entire lyric track. They are useful when you're inserting bars or beats into
the song and need to move the lyrics around to keep them in sync.
Edit Lyrics as Event List
Opens the Edit Lyrics dialog with Edit, Insert, Append, and Delete functions.
Line-based Lyrics opens a special submenu for line based lyrics. These are lyrics that are entered line by line as
text. They are not directly linked to the corresponding melody notes. To enter line-based lyrics in the Notation
window, either press Ctrl+L or open up the Notation window.
Copy Line Lyrics to Note Lyrics converts line-based lyrics to note based lyrics. It is imprecise, because the line-
based lyrics don't correspond to individual notes. But you can edit the positions of the note-based lyrics using the
event list or the Move Lyric back/ahead to time line functions discussed above.
Move Line lyrics to Note Lyrics works like the Copy Line Lyrics to Note Lyrics function, except it erases the Line-
based lyrics.
Auto-Update all songs in folder to Note-based Lyrics will update an entire folder worth of songs, copying the
Line Lyrics to Note Lyrics. Only Note-based lyrics get displayed in the Big Lyrics Dialog, so this feature will allow
you to see these lyrics in the Big Lyrics window.
Move Lyrics Up or down row(s)… moves a line of line-based lyrics up/down a number of rows.
Erase Line-based Lyrics only erases only the line-based lyrics, preserving the note-based lyrics.
