Hello, This is my first post. I simply want to share a very useful tool that I found on a website. It is a Lyric Hyphenator (english only). I've been using it for about a year. It works great and it's free! You simply copy and paste lyrics into the text box, and it automatically hyphenates them for you. You then copy and paste them back into your lyric window on Finale, use click assignment and voila! Very painless.

It is great for use with music notation software like Finale. The resulting text can simply be pasted into the program and automatically lined up with the musical score. It is also a great tool for English teachers and students. Simply paste your text into the field below: Current limitations include: Only hyphenates words found in standard English dictionaries. Does not hyphenate some proper nouns. Always double-check your results before using them. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
