Thanks for the examples.  These suggestions work great!!!  I can now place
lyrics that are independent of notes.

Now I would like to know how to include accidentals in the lyrics.  The
lyrics have the note name so I want to be able to add lyrics such as F# or
Bb using the sharp and flat font chars.
