Thanks, Dennis. I shows that I really do not know what i am doing with this. I was trying to match up syllables to the exact verse one notes. I guess I have to put in different layer two notes for verse two lyrics. Is that how it is done? (I cringe at asking what I know is a completely ignorant question).
