With this method, you’ll enter the complete set of lyrics beforehand in Finale’s text processor. Because the computer doesn’t have to redraw the music to keep up with you (as it did with the Type Into Score method), you’ll find that you can type much faster in this mode.
You can edit your lyrics in the Edit Lyrics
window just as you would text in any word processor. For example, you
can correct mistakes by backspacing over them with the key
(Mac:
). You can copy and paste text as you’ve just done,
using
-C (Mac:
-C) to copy selected text and
-V (Mac:
-V) to paste it. You can also
cut selected text, so that it’s removed from the Edit Lyrics window but
placed on the Clipboard ready for pasting in another place; the Cut command
is
-X (Mac:
-X).
