That could well be! On PCs the convention is that Escape works as a shortcut for clicking Cancel, while Enter is a shortcut for clicking OK. > >As you see in my example, the input looks much nicer if both notes > >and words are aligned with "|" signs.

They are not drawn in the output; they're used to align syllables to the corresponding measures. If there are not as many syllables as notes in a measure, typing a "|" automatically advances to the next bar; if there are enough syllables the "|" is just ignored. > >> Also because neither the program nor I knows what \- > >> means. > > > >It is used to put multiple hyphenated syllables under > >ONE note.

The tilde works more or less the same way, but places a space between the syllables instead of a hyphen. Maybe these two issues should be clarified a little in the upcomming standard?
