I'm making some quick-and-dirty viol parts and re-using each file as
a template (I'm doing the parts to fix the clefs, because the music
is all viols and voices, so the parts are in inappropriate clefs for
viols). I started from an older piece with lyrics and then added
lyrics in the new piece, but forgot to delete the old lyrics before
adding new ones.
Is it possible to delete the old lyrics without screwing up the new
ones?
Maybe. In some cases, if the old lyrics are visible in "type into score"
mode, they can be deleted there without disrupting the new lyrics, as
type into score mode maintains the binding between the lyric syllable
and the note. If deleting the lyrics in the "edit lyrics" dialog box,
then no.
Faced with the problem you have, my most likely course of action would
be to copy the lyrics from "edit lyrics" dialog window to a text editor;
edit the lyrics to remove the unwanted syllables, delete all the lyrics
from your score, and copy the lyrics back into the document a part at
a time, and use "click assignment" to establish the bindings between
the appropriate notes and syllables.
