How to paste text into a frame
I have the lyrics of a song in a text file which I would like to put into a text box in a Muse score. I can create a text box and type into it successfully. However nothing happens when I try to paste lyrics into it by selecting them using Edit->Copy in the text editor and then going to MuseScore and using either RightClick->Paste orCtrl/V>.
Is it possible to do this? Or (hopefully) I'm missing something obvious.

Are you using the 'Insert Text Frame' or 'Append Text Frame' command from the Add>Frames main menu?
If you are, it should be possible to paste text into it by double-clicking inside the text frame after you create it, and then typing CTL+V. Using 2.0.1 on Win7, I successfully pasted text into a text frame which was copied to the clipboard from an Outlook Express mail message that is running in a separate XP Virtual Machine within the main computer. (I deliberately tried to paste in from as 'far away' as possible to see if it would work, and it did.)

Hi all,
@ jonrysh, also consider: Insert/Add a vertical/horizontal frame to which add text

Thanks. It's the double-click that does the job.
