Hi !
As you can see in the following exemple, the rythm of the four stave is the same, and the lyrics, too. Is it possible to copy the lyrics from a stave to another. I may precise that it's only for a few measures for this example, but I'd like to know it when the whole parts have the same lyrics in the entire piece, too.
Thanks !

Enter the lyrics in one of the staves (e. g. the Soprano staff).

Edit menu > Edit Filter…
Click the button "None".

Click the check box "Lyrics".

Click OK, to return to the score.

Copy the lyrics from the first staff to the other staves.
Because of the copy filter, only the lyrics will be copied.

Utilities menu > Update Smart Word Extensions and Hyphens

OK, but as U can see, there is no more "edit filter" in the "edit menu" ! So ?

You can't do that in SW. There is no edit filter.

In this sort of case, I attack it differently: enter the soprano line, with the lyric. Copy the line to the other voice parts, and use the repitch tool to change the notes.

OK !
Thanks !

I've copied the lyrics (i.e., measure) from soprano to alto. No problem, but when I copy lower, the tenor and bass notes go crazy. Where is this repitch tool and how do I use it?

Thanks

Greg,
The Repitch tool is in the Simple Entry Palette. Using it is hard to explain! I've sent you a private message.
