I don't see any capability to hide lyrics in Staff Style definition. > If hidding doesn't work, you can also reduce more or less drastically the > size of the font.

After one measure where this caused orphan hyphens, I changed to using Type in Score to replace the offending syllables with the | symbol, respacing, then typing the original syllables back in. This was much easier than the other method (the text in question is quite repetitive, and it was quite hard to find exactly the right repetition in the very hard-to- use click assignment dialog -- has that been improved any at all?). Hiding selected syllables would certainly be easier, but this is good enough if my creaky old Finale version won't support it. It's not like I encounter this problem very often -- my viol consort doesn't do a lot of Monteverdian music! -- David W.
