Hey Chris,
This is why OS X's built-in dictionary service (based on the New
Oxford American) comes in handy -- open TextEdit, copy lyrics into a
new empty document. Format -> Make Plain Text (cmd-shift-T). Double-
click a word for which you want to check the hyphenation, then right-
click (or ctrl-click) and choose "Look Up in Dictionary".
Easy and fast.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Is there a way to type in a dotted quarte note (stem up or down)
using Maestro fonts with one stroke instead of typing a note and
then adding a dot? Am using winfin2006.
The short answer is no.
There is no single character that is a dotted quarter in Maestro.
Why do you need this? There might be a better alternative.
If you need to ask this you've obviously not entered much music in
6/8 where some of the music moves at the dotted-quarter beat. :-)
Hmm? Hitting 5-period on the numeric keypad is just as fast as 5
alone. Right index on the 5, ring finger on the decimal; lead with
the index like a grace note and it is really fast.
Now, tuplets and grace notes slow me down somewhat, but nothing to
worry about. Same with switching layers. But the biggest slowdown
by far is still lyrics, despite all the improvements in entry and
editing. Hyphenation... arrgh! I get SO many lyrics that are
improperly hyphenated, and for me to correct them means dictionary
time (because I don't know what the correct way is off the top of
my head).
