- Click the Lyrics tool
. The Lyrics menu
appears.
- Choose Lyrics > Clone Lyric.
- Select the region whose lyrics you want to
copy. You use the Lyrics tool to select a musical region just as
you would with the Selection tool: select one measure by clicking, additional
measures by SHIFT-clicking, a screenful by drag-enclosing, or an entire
staff by clicking to the left of it.
- Drag the first selected measure so that it’s
superimposed on the first target measure. If the first target measure
isn’t on the screen, scroll to it, and then CTRL+SHIFT-click it. In either case,
the lyrics are copied from the source selection to the target music. Note
that Finale will only place lyrics in the target region on notes that
fall on the same beats as they did in the source region.
