Note duration
First, I really appreciate replies to my questions. I cannot always find the answers in the handbook. There are times I want to change the duration of a note after I have entered the lyrics. Upon doing so, I have to re-enter the lyrics because they disappear. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the way it is?

Pretty sure that this is "just the way it is". Replacing the duration of a note actually deletes the old note and adds the new. Deleting the old also deletes the lyric attached.
IiRC shortening works, but not increasing duration.
Can't check currently though
"I want to change the duration of a note after I have entered the lyrics."
This is only a problem if the new duration is longer, so that the new duration "eats" the following note. If the following note is destroyed, then so is the lyric word or syllable which was attached to it. I can't see any logical way round that, because lyrics are always attached to a specific note (or rest).

It could keep the lyrics if there's some duration left on the 'eaten-from' note. Would need some special case in the code, but does seem possible to me
