Moving lyrics

• Feb 20, 2015 - 18:26

http://musescore.org/en/node/23764 suggests lyrics can be moved by selecting all the text, holding down [Ctrl] and dragging the lyrics with the mouse. However that only allows text to be moved horizontally, not vertically.

That's because as in 2.0 builds, Ctrl doubles as the command to constrain drags horizontally. So the trick is to use Ctrl to initiate the drag (to prevent it from deselecting everything else), then release while dragging.

Not ideal, but that's how it is.

But FWIW, dragging with the mouse is no longer the preferred way to move things in 2.0. Instead, use the Inspector for more precise control. Not that dragging doesn't work too. And BTW< changing to Shift after releasing Ctrl constrains the drag vertically.
