Hi Sherry:

For most part, your instructions work well, except in one area:

Once the staffs were merged, all the "-" "\" and "/" were deleted from the lyrics! And a space was added to many words, and a carriage return was added in place of "/". So there is a lot of editing to do after merging.

I left a empty staff with just lyrics. And I am happy to report that they get displayed properly in my Yamaha DGX-630 keyboard when exported to "midi with lyrics" format (after conversion with MidiPlayer II, still my workaround pending a solution as discussed in another thread).

Hope that this can be fixed or improved in future versions.

Lawrence
