Adding lyrics/ combining four voices onto one staff
I'm wondering if there's a way to add lyrics beneath the four voices, or, if possible, to compress the four voices onto one staff, and put the lyrics in the center. Does anyone know how to do either of these things?

To add lyrics, see Lyrics in the Handbook. Are you sure you really want to put four. Oices on a single staff? I'm betting you really mean two staves - SA on top, TB on bottom. Either way is possible - see Voices .

I managed to add the lyrics, and yes i meant to add them onto two staves, however I already created the melodies for each voice. Do I just cut and paste them into the new stave? or is there another way?

There is the Implode plugin, but it only works in very simple cases. So copy and paste will probably be the way to go. Hint - copy alto art, then use Edit / Voices / Exchange to move to voice 2, then copy in the soprano part. Similarly for bottom staff.

Yes, it is possible to have (up to) 4 voices in one staff and yes, adding lyrics to any staff is possible too.
Assuming you're talking about a SATB score, it may better better though to use 2 staves which 2 voices each (soprano and altea in top staff, tenor and bass in bottom staff) and add the lyricics to the upper staff, so they appear between the 2 staves.

I'm new with MusicScore and I want to add lyris of soprano to alto, tenor and bass. How can I do that not having to type all the lyrics under every staff. Is it possible to copy the lyrics from one staff to another?

in 1.x you can't, not without copying the notes too.
In 2.0 Beta 1 it should be possible, I haven't used it personally yet though
Hi Sir Marc!
First let me say that I really love MuseScore. It is really user friendly, easy to share and navigate! Lots of kudos and I continue to learn while using it. I have a question: is it possible to copy Lyrics to the Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass Staves in MuseScore 3? J-J SATB Sample.mscz I already have the four SATB Parts however the Lyrics for the SATB Parts are the same. So far I have had to be typing the Lyrics from scratch for each Part separately. I would appreciate any insight you or anyone may have thanks in advance!

You did realize that this thread is alomst 9 years old and Mu3 didn't exist back then?
Anyway, yes in Mu3 you can aoppy all lyrics and apply them to another staff, right-click first syllable, selec all similar elements in same staff, copy, select 1st note in any ot the other staves, paste

But I'd rather use a closed score here, S+A in top staff, T abd B in bottom staff, and only one set of lyrics

In this case it reveals that in the entire score all voices are in unison...
