Changing the line number and type of lyric lines

You can change the lyric line number of whole lyric lines after they have been input. You can also

change whole lyric lines to chorus lines and lyric line translations.

For example, you can change the existing Line 1 into a lyric translation of Line 4, or change Line 2

into a chorus line.

TIP

To identify which line you are working on, select a syllable in the line of lyrics and check the

number in the Line number value eld in the Lyrics group of the Properties panel.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, select a lyric in the line whose lyric line type you want to change. The lyric line

can be above or below the staff.

TIP

You can also make a selection and use the lyric lters to select different lyric lines according

to their line numbers.

2. Change the line type of the selected lyric line in one of the following ways:

● Choose Edit > Lyrics > Line > [Line number].

● Choose Edit > Lyrics > Line > Chorus.

● Choose Edit > Lyrics > Translations > [Line number Translation].

● Choose Edit > Lyrics > Translations > Chorus Translation.

TIP

You can also choose these options from the context menu.

RESULT

The line number or type of the whole lyric line of the selected lyric is changed.

NOTE

The position of the selected lyric line relative to other lyric lines at the same position might be

changed. For example, if there were two lyric lines and you changed Line 1 to Line 3, it now

appears below Line 2.

If a lyric line with the same number already exists at the same position on the same side of the

staff, the two lines switch. For example, if there is already a Line 1 at the rhythmic position where

you want to change Line 2 to Line 1, then the existing Line 1 becomes Line 2 to accommodate

your most recent preference. The same applies to chorus lines and lyric line translations.
