Not for this project as there is no adjusting to be done. One way to do it: Text Tool. This did the job...

Lead sheet song form letters.

Re: Double stems, different color notes and lyrics input woe

Hi Miker Thanks for the reply. I must not have something set right because in my interface I don't see a lot of the buttons, menu items or indicators that people keep referring to.
