Scoring chants with Muescore
When scoring vocal chants, one needs to associate multiple words in the lyrics with a single note. Can I do this from within Musescore?
Thank you,

Do you mean “verses”? Example?
Of course, Musescore supports verses. But if you mean something else, we would need a better explanation.
You can link the two syllables involved with Control+Alt+Shift+"-" or simply with Control (or Alt)+"-" and even with a slash depending on your preferences.
If you mean several sets of lyrics, then Control+l again and you´ll have a new line of lyrics.

FYI, I attached a .pdf with the melodic line and first verse of lyrics. I would like to merge the melodic line and lyrics to simplify reading for the singers. If I understand correctly, I would enter the first line of lyrics like this: My[ctrl]+"-"soul[ctrl]+"-"give[ctrl]+"-"thanks[ctrl]+"-"to the[ctrl]+"-"Lord... Correct?
This seems to indicate that words to be sung on the same pitch are separated with dashes. If I want space separators instead, do I use [ctrl]+" "?
Thanks
