For me, the advantage of this is that
when I find an error which has escaped proofreading early on, and
need to locate the error in the lyric dialogs, the tags make it much
easier to be assured I am looking in the right place.
prompting David Fenton to query:
Er, I don't understand. What kind of repertory are you entering? 15th-
century poly-textual motets?
I've not done one of these yet, but I don't very often assign the same
syllable to multiple notes, either, so if between the various voice
parts, the word "alleluia" appears thirty five times, it will most
likely appear multiple times in the lyric area, and having the tags
makes it easier to find the error when I have mis-spelled just one of
the instances.
Why would you *need* to have separate text for the different parts?
How different could they be?
It 's not so much a matter of having separate text, as being able to
determine more easily while looking at the edit lyrics window which
syllables are assigned to which notes.
