Subsequent lines
If you want to add another lyrics line to an existing one (e.g. a 2nd or 3rd verse etc.):
- Chose one of the following options:
- Select the note where you want to start the new lyrics line. Enter lyrics mode as shown in step 3 (above). The cursor moves to a new (blank) line.
- Enter text edit mode on an existing syllable, go to the end of the syllable and press ↵ (Return). The cursor moves to the next line.
- Continue entering lyrics from step 4 (above).
Example:
Special characters
In most cases, lyrics can be edited just like normal text. However, special keyboard shortcuts are required to enter the following characters:
-
Character space: Ctrl+Space (Mac: ⌥+Space).
-
- (hyphen): Ctrl+- (Mac: ⌥+-) or AltGr+-.
-
Line feed: Ctrl+↵ (Mac: ⌥+Return) or Enter (from the numeric keypad).
Verse numbers
To number verses, simply type the number (e.g. 1.) and a space before the first syllable. MuseScore will automatically align the numbers and first syllable correctly.
Melisma
A melisma is a syllable or word that extends over two or more notes. It is indicated by an underline extending from the base of a syllable to the last note of the melisma. The underline is created by positioning the cursor at the end of a syllable and pressing Shift+_: once for each note in the melisma. See the image below:
The above lyric was created in the following manner:
- Type the letters, soul,.
- At the end of the word, press Shift+___.
- Type the letters To, then press Esc.
For non-last syllables to extend, just use additional dashes -, usually only one of them will show (more when the distance between the syllables is large enough), and the syllable will right-align to the first note, similar to last syllables that got notated with a melisma, see above.
Elision (Lyric) slur / Synalepha
Two syllables under a note can be joined with an elision slur, also known as a "lyric slur" or "synalepha". For example:
To create the example lyric text, starting with the syllable text "te":
- Type te;
- Click on the keyboard icon
-
Use one of the following options:
- Double-click one of the three elision slurs in the "Common Symbols" tab: "Narrow elision", "Elision", or "Wide elision" (these can be found between the "C Clef" and the "p" dynamic—see image below):
- Double-click the elision slur found after the 7/8 fraction in the "Common Symbols" tab (next to last character in the image above). Depending on the font, add one or more spaces before/after the slur using Ctrl+Space (Mac: ⌥+Space).
Note: Not all fonts include the "undertie" character (U+203F ‿ "undertie", present in "Special Characters" mainly for compatibility with MuseScore 1.x scores). To find out which fonts on your computer support it, see "fontlist" (look for any font that shows a tie between "te" and "A" instead of a blank rectangle).
- Double-click one of the three elision slurs in the "Common Symbols" tab: "Narrow elision", "Elision", or "Wide elision" (these can be found between the "C Clef" and the "p" dynamic—see image below):
-
Type A.
