How to copy the lyrics of any song to the clipboard
I use Musescore 3.2.3 with Ubuntu Studio 19.10 (64 bits Linux).
I want to know if there is a way to copy the lyrics of any song (wrote with Musescore, of course) from the score to the clipboard...
It is intended to use the lyrics with an external text app (Libreoffice, etc).
Can we? How?
Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, jm6stringer!!!
BTW: Why this command is in the "TOOLS" menu? Shouldn't it be in the "EDIT" menu? ???

In version 2 it was in the tools submenu of the edit menu, so it stayed under tools. There are good arguments for putting it in either place.

BTW: I could notice something weird: Each time the lyrics has an elision, the final result in the clipboard is the character combination: 'P. Is it something about my system only? Or... Is it a known bug?

I never use this tool, so someone else, perhaps Jojo when he wakes up can answer that.

Hi, jojo!!!
Sorry by the delay to answer. I had some problems to come back home, today (due to the political problems present in Chile, at this time).
Here, I uploaded an score and the direct result from the copy lyrics to the clipboard pasted in LibreOffice Write.
You will see the result when there is elision in the lyrics.

Hi Jotape1960
I confirm that this is a problem I have as well.
But I just found the solution.
MuseScore elisions are special characters in the Bravura Text font.
Thanks to Jojo-Schmitz this font is downloadable here: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/tree/master/fonts/bravura
You must therefore install this font and use it in your LibreOffice or any other word processor.
Your text comes out like this:
