Add lyrics for multiple verses

1

Add lyrics for the first verse (as described in the previous task).

2

Drag a second lyric object to the same note position below the lyric object for the first verse, and

enter the second verse.

3

Repeat the process for any additional verses.

As long as you enter lyrics continuously and do not leave this mode, all lyric objects for the
second verse stay at the same height as the initial object—in this case, the first word of the
second verse.

Quickly align multiple lyric objects
You can use this method to quickly align sequential Lyric text objects for the same verse, but not
for different verses. Doing so would set them all to the same height.

1

Select the lyric objects you want to align.

To select all lyric objects, select one lyric object, then choose Edit > Select Similar Objects.

2

Use the Align Object Positions Vertically key command.

Convert standard text to lyrics

m

Select the text, then select the Lyric checkbox in the Text Event inspector.
