Bug Report #2: Vanishing Lyrics, Version 2.1.0 rev 871c8ce

• Nov 20, 2017 - 21:55

Hello there, another issue:

When selecting a note, and cutting and pasting it, on paste the associated lyrics are lost. If previous posters are correct, the lyrics should stay associated with the note.

Regards,
Clara

When copying a single note you need to be careful. If you click only the note head, only the note is cut. Since there is now no chord there, the lyrics are lost. Use Shift+click to select the entire chord which includes things such as the lyric, accents and so forth. You will know you have the entire chord selected because the stem, lyrics and everything attached to them will turn blue.

I've done this often enough to say that this does work, if it is a range selection. Selecting a notehead though probably doesn't do this, the lyrics is attached to the chord (noteheads, stem, flags)

Again, not sure why you think should be the case (or which previous posters you're referring to).
If you copy a single notehead (single click the notehead, no rectangle around it), then again select a single notehead upon pasting, then only some notehead properties are transferred; such as the pitch and the notehead group (cross/diamond/normal). It will leave articulations and lyrics intact

As soon as your selection shows as a rectangle, it is a range selection and consists of at least one full chord (even if it has only a single note in it) including all lyrics/articulations from it. Pasting that range will overwrite whatever was at the source.
