I'm trying to solve a few lyric and system problems using Finale 2000c, Macintosh system 9.2.

1. How do I drag a line of lyrics up or down without having do drag individual syllables?

2. Behind some syllables (colliding with syllables and letters), I still see dashes, probably remaining from melismas. I can't seem to remove those ugly dashes. My method was to use the lyric tool, then "type into score."

3. My pages contain only one system and there is room for two. How do I get two systems onto a page? I noticed that after I optimized and tried putting an additional system on each page, the system at bottom of page gets duplicated at top of following page. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
:cry:
