Hi

Do you know if it is possible to move an entire arrangement with lyrics in quickscribe? Here on 9.12, when I move notes by a couple of bars forwards the lyrics stay behind.

I don't use QS at all but just thinking out loud, what happens if you make the move(s) in the MIDI or tracks window? Do the lyrics make be with the notes?

I don't use QS, either, for lyrics but I'm kinda thinking that the lyrics are not actually attached to the notes as in Finale.

What? So what's the point? That's just plain useless.

I've only typed lyrics a couple of times in QS and the lyrics are locked to notes. I recall that the space bar jumped the text cursor to the next note, also a dash would do the same.

I'm not sure whether you can directly import/export lyrics, but with careful text editing, you can bring them in from even a text editor as long as the dashes & spaces cause things to shake out. YMMV

I read the manual in the End :D. You can reflow the lyrics. In my case I moved my music 4 bars forward, selected the first note and chose reflow from the lyrics window.
