Default Re: Copy / Paste Lyrics Error

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for the report - this is now written up for fixing.

The problem occurs with copy/pasting lyrics that don't have any notes associated with them. If you add notes to the top staff that has the lyrics, and then do the steps to copy/paste the lyrics, it will work.

For example, in the file you have here:

1. In "add" mode, use the Notes/Notes and your mouse to add notes to the staff that contains the lyrics.

2. Then, use Ctrl + mouse drag to select those measures.
3. Ctrl + C to copy that region to the clipboard.
4. Now Ctrl + mouse drag to select the target measures.
5. Edit/Paste Special/Paste Lyrics, and now it works.

Sorry for the inconvenience here, and thanks for reporting the bug. This can be an issue in karaoke files, which often have lyrics in a separate staff that does not contain notes.

ttfn,
Sherry
