Distance between staves in a system, when lyrics are added and moved above the top staf

• Feb 3, 2013 - 00:39

When I add lyrics the distance between staves in a system automatically increases to compensate, however if I then select all the lyrics and move them above the top staff in the system the distance between the staves does not shrink again and I can not manually adjust it. This distance gets greater with each additional line of lyrics.

Yes, this is a limitation wrt lyrics. MS doesn't handle lyrics above the staff and moving them doesn't really change where MS thinks they are.

Works, but not elegant or quick.

[Edit]
On checking to see if this actually works I find that I haven't solved the issue of making the barlines invisible. Best I could come up with is making them all invisible and then manually adding in lines at the end - told you it was laborious.
