I have recently purchased a new computer and installed Finale 2004. It will not allow me to type an underline in the lyrics. I do not need to underline a word, I just need to be able to type the underline. Has anyone encountered this problem before?
I haven't, but here's how I'd solve it if I did. I'd type "X" twice for the syllable, and in between the two "X" characters, type however many non-breaking spaces you require. Repeat this for each note to which you want to attach an underline. Now, go to the edit lyrics dialog box, and select the syllable, or in the case of a melisma, the first and last syllables, you want to underline by dragging the cursor. When you have selected the text, select the font menu, and under effects, select underline; click OK as needed to return to the score. You can then use "type into score" to remove the "X" characters you inserted as placeholders.
