Copy / paste lyrics maintaining word positions.
I want to copy lyrics to a different staff maintaining the same word positions even if the note spacing is different. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks.

I believe this is possible, Tools > Copy Lyrics to Clipboard
Hmm, sort of works, but ignores dashed syllables
Better: right-click syllable > Select > More > Same verse > OK, Ctrl+C
Select target note, Ctrl+V
