Seeing as how my newest work is a work for chorus, is there any way to import lyrics from another program (like Word or Notepad)? I've got a somewhat lengthy text and I'd rather not have to re-type the darn thing if I can help it.
Oo, oo, oo! I know this one!
Copy the lyrics from the other program using (PC) control-C or (Mac) Command-C, then in Finale open the Edit Lyrics window from the Lyrics menu and paste using (PC) control-V or (Mac) Command-V. Tah dah! Now all you have to do is hyphenate them all correctly, which I suggest doing BEFORE attaching them to the notes with Click Assignment...
Some users have suggested using Verse 1 for Soprano, copying them to Verse 2 for Alto, etc., so that you can safely edit lyrics differently for each voice. I heartily recommend this.
