I'm using PrintMusic 2011.r2. My choir director asked me to notate a Christmas carol (we have a hard-to-read, multiply-xeroxed copy). It has four verses, which I entered with the Lyric tool. So far so good.
Now we've agreed to delete the third verse, which we won't be singing. I can't see a way to delete the lyrics for a single verse. I would be happy to delete ALL the lyrics and start over, but can't figure out how to do that either. I gather Finale has a feature to select and clear all lyrics, but it doesn't appear in my version of PrintMusic. Any ideas?

You can select the last lyric in the verse you want to delete, and delete your way back to the beginning.

Okay, that's tedious, but looks like it should work. I hope the previous verse 4 will then get auto-numbered to verse 3? Anyhow, I will play with that. Thanks for the quick reply.
