Issue with pasting lyrics in Musescore 3

• Jan 29, 2019 - 10:12

We are encountering an issue, when trying to paste lyrics in Musescore 3 over lyrics, which have already been entered. Instead of the old set of lyrics being replaced, the two sets appear over one another (please see screenshots attached).

It will be useful for us to be able to paste new lyrics, as original ones are translated into our own language, without having to delete the previous ones.

Thank you for any advice you may have!

Try this. Copy the lyrics;
Select the first lyric of your destination with a click (Odd lines);
Use the ↵ button to place yourself on the second line (Even lines);
Paste.
It should work.

Dear Shoichi,

Thank you for your prompt response! Unfortunately, this is not the solution we were looking for, as we are trying to completely remove the previous set of lyrics, rather than adding a new line. The specific situation is that we start out with the original song lyrics, which are afterwards repaced with the translation in our local language.

This was possible in older versions of the program.

Thank you in advance for your help in the matter. In case this is not supported in this version, we will try figure out a different way of updating the lyrics.
