Same worksheet in different languages that are linked
Hi, I am making basically one worksheet, but in two different languages. Is it possible to have the same worksheet, but with different text languages and also have them linked together somehow? That way I could edit the notes in one worksheet and the changes would be made in the other worksheet with the different language. I tried using "generate parts", but the text is the same in both, obviously. Is there a way to change the text in one worksheet without changing the other one? Or does someone have a better idea of doing this?

You could miss-use even/odd lyrics for that and hide odd on one part, even on the other

From my testing, there is always space for verse 1 when you do this. How do you overcome that?

I believe invisible lyrics should not eat space?

Try it. I thought is would be a good way to make a bilingual song and show only the language you want to see but the space for verse 1 was still there and ruined the tight formatting.

Yup, you're right

Darn, I was hoping you'd have a secret rather than me opening a bug report.
As Marc indicated, the other text items are better for this any way and do work. Those invisible items don't take up space. I advise you to not show invisible items or it will get rather ugly to see the two superimposed on one another.
Depending on what this worksheet entails, I don't think I'd be messing with lyrics for this - usually staff or frame text is better, as spaces can be entered normally that way. But the same approach of entering multiple texts and just making all but one invisible should work. If you post an example we can understand and advise better.

Here's an example. I had used staff text for everything. I just changed the first measure only for the upload.

If I use staff text, the text stays the same for both score and part.

True, but you can extract the part twice, and make some staff texts invisible in one part, others on the other part. See attached

... make a text invisible. Or possible change the text color to white?

Only if made invisible, it doesn't take space (except for lyrics as we just found out)

Ok, that looks good. Thanks everyone for your help!
