Positioning lyrics
I'm creating 4-part harmony (barbershop) scores. When everyone is signing the same words, everything is fine. But often, some parts will sing different lyrics. I like to put the lyrics for tenors over the grand staff, but this is quite awkward as lyrics for tenors land right on top of the lead's lyrics. Selecting the tenor's lyrics without including the lead's lyrics is difficult. I find myself carefully selecting one word at a time, or if I can three or four and moving those words, then moving to the next word or words - very tedious. Tenors are voice 1 on the top staff, leads are voice 2. Likewise, baritones and basses are voices 1 and 2 on the bass staff.
Is there a way to select only those lyrics for a single voice so I can adjust the vertical position?
Setting the vertical position before entering text only works for the first word entered.
