Are playable lyrics now a thing in MuseScore 4, or have I completely misread the update notes?
If I have and this is in fact a stupid question, feel free to shoot me with your weapon of choice.
That being said, I got quite excited when I read the latest update notes to find that there is now
"Support for Muse Sounds choral libraries, including lyric text to trigger different phoneme samples." according to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases
Does this mean that it is possible to write choral parts with lyrics and have them actually "sing" the lyrics, rather than the stock "oo" and "ah" sounds?
If so, then how on Earth do I get them to work because I've been playing around with some lyrics on scores flicking through all kinds of menus, and it doesn't seem to work, which leads to my comment here.
Kind regards,
Dave.

Still broken, should be fixed in 4.4.1
But yes, that is about oohs and aahs
Here’s some clarification, somebody correct me if I’m wrong— the lyrics will only playback if you write the available sounds; so the muse sounds choir will only be able to sing ahh, ooh, and mmm because those were the only vowels sampled. I believe VOXOS choir in musehub has up to 30 vowels and it states that with a lot of work, you can make it somewhat resemble words, but none of these packs will sing back words in lyrics. (I believe). Hopefully that makes sense.

Thought it sounded too good to be true!
Thanks for the info.

@dave5400 What you want to do is something I'm also experimenting around with. As far as I know, best thing to get this done currently is to use Diffsinger with an English Voice/phonemizer, I recommend voices from Tigermeat: https://tigermeat.xyz MusicXML can be converted online to a compatible format.

Does that work for choral sounds (multiple-voice parts)?
Also, the tigermeat link you supplied isn't opening for me in Edge -- "it seems like tigermeat.xyz closed the connection" -- or in Chrome -- "suspicious site blocked"

Yeah, that link is more than a little suspicious. I wouldn't

In fact, I don't really know what happens when using it with multiple-voice parts (I always used the split-feature of MuseScore to create individual parts, and then export it).
I don't use Edge, but both Chrome and Firefox let me browse to that site without any warnings. Also, I'd like to remind you that this is not the voice that you have to use - I just recommended it as I consider them good quality, and already was in personal contact with the developer to clarify some things. If you want an overview of what voices there are for Diffsinger, just google for "Diffsinger voicebanks", e.g. the vocaloid database is a well-maintained list (also including Tiger). Sorry if I'm going too much off-topic now, but this approach is what for me suits best to get playable lyrics so far, and that's what initially was asked for.
