How to convert lyrics in ALL CAPS to LOWERCASE?
Hello, my friends.
It seems that, no matter which MIDI file I open containing lyrics, the lyrics always appear in capital letters. Rather than re-type them or attempt to copy them from an online source and re-paste them into the song, I want to know if there is a plug-in that will simply convert the "case" of existing lyrics, to lowercase.
Does anyone know?

No that I know, but writing a plugin for this should be fairly easy.
You can use javascript function toLowerCase()
There's such a plugin now.
Will convert all selected lyrics to lowercase.

Sorry not to respond sooner!
Thank you for the good news that such a plug-in is possible.
I have tried to install the one that you mentioned, but, as many plug-ins, this one does not work on my system. Yes, it's in the correct folder, and I have activated it in the Plug-in manager, but it does not show up in the menu of active plug-ins on my main MS screen.
I have also tried (briefly) to create a new plug-in, but alas my programming skills are far too limited to understand how to do it, without delving more deeply into the tutorials.
Incidentally, I am still using MuseScore 2.3.2. on Windows Vista, but the plug-in seems to be old anyway, so I do not think that issue should be the reason that I could not get it to work.
I have always had problems installing about 25% of the existing plug-ins anyway, so this comes as no surprise.
But thank you for the lead.
Someday, when I get time, I may read through the tutorials about creating plug-ins using the information that you gave me.
Thank you!
Erik

If you read the plugin file, you'll see it requires Musescore 3:

MuseScore 2 does not have the selection interface yet for plugins.
