Hi Jacki
If I can point out a couple things:
In the first measure, I believe you want a word
extension rather than a hyphen between "of" and "my."
It should look like this:
"In the si-lence of__ my sor-row�"
Fin2004 will do word extensions for you automatically
if you have that turned on in the options. If not, you
can add them manually from the lyrics menu. The word
extension goes from the end off the word, to the end
of the last note-head the syllable belongs to. It
doesn't occupy any of the "blank" rhythmic space
before the next note. The same is true in the 2nd
measure for "when."
Also, you may wish to adjust the minimum distance
between ties in the options as well. I believe you can
get rid of most of the white space in between those
tied sixteenths and it would still be very readable,
perhaps more so. In the vocal music that I do, I try
to keep the spacing as "normal" as possible - I ask
myself if it looks good without the lyrics, if it
doesn't, I adjust things.
I know you need the song finished today, so if you
don't have time, you could apply this stuff to your
next project.
Good luck!
Ryan
