Combine two measures into one

• Jun 30, 2025 - 16:28

How do I combine measures 12 and 13 in "Spirit in the Sky C copy.mscz" to look like the single measure in the "Spirit Measure.pdf" drawing? If my drawing is flawed, any correction is welcome!

You need to use voices. The eighth notes and tied half go in voice one, and the whole note goes in voice two.
Basic function. You need to learn it! Or you could use a first and a second ending, so there is no confusion about which lyrics to sing.

(Also, your words to verses 2 and 3 don't line up with the notes, unless you delete the tie.)
