vertically doesn't work. Has anyone else had this experience, and does
anyone know how to get the lyrics to copy properly? I am using Finale 2003.

In Finale 2003, the program "helpfully" moves lyrics to the next higher number verse or chorus whenever you copy passages containing lyrics. I think this was to allow you to alter lyric baselines separately, but I found it to be a pain, as you do.

Don't delete the lyrics, just change "Specify Current Lyric" to one number higher (1 to 2, say) and you will be able to adjust the baselines for the copied lyrics.
