Copying lyrics only, not the notes
Does anyone know how to do this? I want to copy certain lyrics I have input to another stave or another part of the score without bringing the whole measure or notes with it? The tutorial shows how to copy the measure with words to a blank measure but not how to copy lyrics only?

Well, the lyrics will have to be atached to something right? And if it's the same lyrics, presumably the melody is similar - perhaps same rhythm, different pitches. So the most straightforward way to do this in most cases is to copy the whole passage - notes and all - then change the pitches. This will become easier with 2.0's repitch mode, but just using the arrow keys to move noe by noe then adjust up or down should do the trick for now.

The problem is I have written the notes already which vary alot in timing and pitch. Not same rhythm. I am now adding the words which repeat quite alot. For example verse 2 is same lyrics as verse 1 but totally different notes and timing. I don't want to re-do the notes as they are the more difficult part. So I thought I could just copy and paste the lyrics but you say that this is not possible without wiping out all the notes I have already input?

Correct, MuseScore does directly support that. But do check out the thread Shoichi linked to, and in particular, his excellent suggest here:

Thanks that looks like a good possibility!
