Finale 2014.5

I am frustrated beyond beyond words. I'm at a point entering lyrics in a choral piece. At a certain point in the middle of the top staff on the score entering lyrics the lyric entry position leaps 11 measure to the top of the next page. if I continue to try and enter text, it places "dashes" all along the score ( as if spanning a string of notes.

Any suggestions?

Is it possible this has to do with layers? You could be entering in layer 1 and the next note is in layer 2 so it jumps to the next instance of layer 1.

Bill, your assumption was " spot on". I obviously don't re-arrange choral music if possible. Aging choirs more often requires one to adapt!

thanks, again.
