Lyrics input glitch when melody crosses middle C

Question

I'm adding lyrics to a score. Everything is cool if all the melody notes are on a single staff. However, if the region has two staves (e.g. bass clef & treble clef) and the melody crosses middle C (i.e. changes staff), the lyrics input won't recognize the notes on the other staff. That is, if I put the lyric object below the bass clef staff, and the next note in the melody is above middle C (up on the treble clef staff), when I hit Tab to input the next syllable, the cursor skips all the melody notes on the treble clef and goes straight to the next note that's back on the bass clef. If I put the lyric object between the two staves, Tab skips over any notes on the bass clef staff. I could just use one staff, but the melody is pretty much centered around middle C so if I do that, about half the notes will either be above or below the staff (depending on which clef I use) which makes it unnecessarily difficult for the singer to read. Any ideas? TIA.

Answer 1

I am not sure what the answer is but, two things occur to me:
• perhaps the Lyric Input tool is following a particular voice which is assigned to a particular midi channel. How many channels are assigned in Score Styles? What kind of Score Style are you using?
• Also try letting the Lyrics just be where they are ( ie up or down) until you have finished putting them all in, then select the ones which are 'wrong' by Shift Clicking and move them all in one go with the Vertical and Horizontal positioning box in the Score Editor inspector
..just a guess
