I've been working on an SATB piece with piano accompaniment, doing a lot of editing, and suddenly the Lyrics tool doesn't work--I can't click assignment or type lyrics into the score. I erased all the lyrics and re-entered them in the lyrics window to start again, but both click assignment and type into score still don't work. Any ideas what happened and how I can get these functions working again? I can't post the file. Thanks.

Hi, Mike. Just closed out of Finale and opened it again, and now both of those Lyrics Tool functions are working again. I was about the report this when I saw your note. Thanks. Did you hear my big sigh of relief? :D
