Add text for lyrics independent of notes ?
Hi , wondering if there is a way to add text i can put under the measures for lyrics that i can just fit in where i want as opposed to being tied to notes or frames. To me it is a bit awkward fitting text in on the notes. If i use cntrl/space , it allows some freedom but stretches the measures oddly and offsets the lyrics from the notes. I mean , can i move a block of text around as well? Thanks for any help

Can you provide an example of what you want to see? I don't understand what you're trying to do.
Maybe use staff text instead

That's what I do. I often include short excerpts of lyrics above a measure, just as a reminder of where in the song we are. It's not necessary or helpful for the text to line up exactly with any notes.

Mark a single note, choose "Insert"->"Text" and choose any appropriate type of text, for example "Systemtext". Enter your text.
You may change the attributes of "Systemtext" (or whatever you have choosen) in "Format"->"Style"->"Textstyles"->"System".
Do not choose "Lyrics" (i dont know if its called so in the english version, its "Liedtext" in German), this is the only format which aligns to the notes.
