What if you are in a first ending, and the lyric is "a-bout" with the first syllable on the last note of the first ending? Is the hyphen extended to the first syllable of the second ending, which might not need a hyphen? What if there is no vocal line at all in the second ending, or until the end of the piece? Will the hyphen get extended endlessly, as it does now? What if there is no vocal line in the FIRST ending, only the second? Will the hyphen get extended through the first box to the second ending, as it does now? It seems to me that there is the possibility of illogical results in ANY lyric system. Although I WOULD like certain things to be easier and more intuitive in the lyric tool! _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
