Selecting only the lyrics
Hi,
Is there a way to select only the lyrics ?
I've downloaded some score with lyrics and want to get rid of them.
If, in the Selection Filter, I uncheck everything but "Lyrics" ("Paroles" in my french version) and presses CTRL+A, nothing gets selected.
The only way to have the Lyrics selected is to check both "Lyrics" and "Voice1", + CTRL+A, but all the notes of the 1st voice are also selected. Which is not what I'm looking for.
Any other solution ?

Thanks. This feature is pretty well hidden. Got to add a shortcut for this one.

It's not possible to create a shortcut for that, but a right click is fairly short.

Many things in MuseScore are in right-click menus, this is true for many programs as well. So if it's hidden, it's in pretty plain sight - it's good to be in the habit of right-clicking things to see what's available. Anyhow, keyboard shortcuts are great but of course even more hidden, you'd have to guess what the shortcut is in order to discover it. But, if you do want one for this command, you can define one in Edit / Preferences / Shortcuts.
Also, as always, the Handbook section on this topic explains it pretty thoroughly (see "Selection modes").
Alternative way:
Click first syllable.
Shift+click last syllable.

This is the really nice one. I've tried many things, like looking in the menus, like SHIFT+LEFT, CLICK-LEFT from the first syllable, but didn't find that one.
Lesson learned.
As for the contextual menu, containing gems that cannot be find somewhere else.
