In a recent version of Patterson Plugins I introduced a function to move lyric text blocks from one number to another. The next version will allow combining text blocks and moving between Verse, Chorus, and Section types. The function optional copies the system baselines for the score as well, and the new version will add copying of system baselines in parts.
When it comes the Lyrics window, I *never* *never* use "Type Into Score". I *always* enter them in the Lyrics Window then click assign. I also *uncheck* "Lyrics" in the Mass Edit Filter, so that copy/paste never copies them. (Copy/paste trashes your lyrics text blocks, in my experience.) Instead I use my Mass Copy plugin to copy lyric assignments, both within a doc and between documents. With care you can avoid the mess. Without care you will definitely end up with a mess.
