MuseScore 3: Line spacing in text frames
I am trying to copy and paste lyrics from my website to the bottom of a piece of music, and I notice that pressing Enter on a blank line puts in a blank line that is only about 1/3 of a line height...?

Sorry for the delayed response!
See attached file. In the words (page 3) pressing [ENTER] between lines only moves text down a bit, not a full line break. Sometimes. Depending on where the cursor is, sometimes it does actually do a full line break...
Also, it'd be nice to be able to use the [TAB] key to indent lyrics. :-)
Thanks

Can you give precise steps to reproduce the problem? For me, everything I tried works as expected.
Implementing tab stops would be nice someday, although there are definitely limits to how "word processory" we are likely to ever get. It's a project I'm interested in helping with this summer is some enterprising student wants to take a crack it through the Google Summer of Code!

I appended a vertical frame, and then added text. Then I copied and pasted the lyrics from my website.
It seems like when I copy from the web something happens and first it displays all the text in one continuous line (scrolling off the screen), but when I click off of the text frame it then properly displays the lines. But blank lines in between are only half space. Odd.
See the attached png... Note the change in line spacing as I click off the text box.
I'm running Windows 7.

Add a double space by positioning yourself at the end of the line and pressing Enter (and then I pressed spacebar)

MuseScore doesn't have word wrap, that's why pasting the text results in one long line. And I think there were probably some invisible / special characters somehow at the line breaks, or maybe somehow you changed fonts when adding the line breaks. Knowing more precisely exactly how to reproduce this - the precise text to paste, where to click, how many times to hit Enter, etc - would still help.
