I've found that lyrics are particularly vulnerable to old junk mysteriously reappearing, and given how they work it's easy to see why. If I'm editing someone else's file with lyrics, I will almost always clear all lyrics and start from scratch. It's generally faster than trying to change what's there. I even sometimes do that with my own files. Most of my work is making edited copies of music that is already written, but occasionally I compose or arrange in Finale. When I do, I use Type in Score (which I never use in my other work), enter things out of order, make changes along the way, etc. Later when I'm ready for a final version, I will typically clear out all the lyrics and re-enter them in an orderly fashion. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
