Copying lyrics to other parts (SATB)
I have written out the lyrics on a tenor part but now wish to copy the same lyrics to the Sop, Alto & Bass parts. I'm stuck at selecting the lyrics - it only seems to allow me to select one syllable notes-worth of lyric at a time and even then it doesn't seem to want to copy & paste to other parts?

Quite a long way from intuitive, but ...
Tools / Copy lyrics to clipboard. Then paste the lyrics into a text editor (Notepad, Notepad ++, Notetab Lite, etc.)
Now click on the first note in, let's say, the Soprano line. Ctrl+L to move into lyrics mode. Ctrl+V to paste. This will paste the first syllable and move you into the next syllable again. Ctrl+V repeatedly to paste each syllable.
What this does is it pastes the first syllable and then removes it from the clipboard. So to repeat this on a second part, let's say the Alto line, you have to go back to the text editor and Ctrl+C, copy the lyric again. Then select the first note in the Alto line, Ctrl+L to enter lyrics mode. Ctrl+V repeatedly to paste each syllable.
