Cut, Copy, and Paste for Lyrics

• Jul 13, 2011 - 20:50

It would be nice to have the ability to cut, copy, and paste lyrics without changing anything else in the score. Often, there are phrases that repeat. It's easy to make a mistake and get a note out of sync while typing, and have to move a long string of lyrics.

Perhaps more difficult to program, and a lower priority, would be the ability to copy and paste lyric text to and from plain text or document files in other applications, via the clipboard.

I agree with the first request. For the second one, it's already possible to copy and paste lyrics from a text file to a lyric. It's even the best way to enter lyrics. Write the lyrics in a text editor, put space between syllabe, copy everything, select first notehead, press Ctrl + L, and Ctrl + V, Ctrl +V etc...
