After reading "2.3.2 Aligning lyrics to a melody" from the 2.18.2 manual I still cannot seem to get my lyrics to extend over 2 notes. Am I missing something or is there something missing from the documentation. My Christmas "sleigh" should fill in the complete staff and my "Jingle should stay put in the next staff. "X" is currently holding the place but naturally does not belong there. HO, HO, HO, Christmas is only 9 months away.
