I have two verses between Treble and Bass cleffs. They are colliding with each other and I tried to move them. However, half the lyrics in verse three were missing in the Lyrics Window. I can't seem to see them in any of the options, yet they are clearly in the script. Any suggestions, or should I remove all lyrics and start over? Ugh! If it helps, all lyrics were typed into the music; not clicked. Thanks

Try the Selection Tool.
Double-click in the score, on the text you can not find in the Lyrics window.
Finale will take you to the Verse the text belongs to.
In Other Words:
The text you double-clicked will be selected as the “Current Lyric”.
Since the Lyrics window by default shows the Current Lyric, the Lyrics window will show the text you double-clicked.
Also, in the Lyrics window you can see, in what Verse the text is.

You can move the bass and treble staves farther apart using the staff tool. Respace the lyric verses with the triangles that appear when the lyric verse is selected in type-into-score mode.
