I am creating a solo version of a choral piece where in the original, the soprano line has 2 note chords. Is there a way to erase the bottom note of the chord without deleting the entire chord, which also deletes the lyrics and it becomes a real process in editing. Is there an easier way to do this?

You haven’t told us your Finale version or computer OS.

On a Mac, you would select the chord, and use CMD - up or down arrow to move between the notes. JW Staff Polyphony > Chord Lines will also work, and let you do large sections at once.
CMD means the Command key, the one that looks like a demented highway exit ramp!
Thank you for all of the input/help. Actually,, I discovered, that if you zoom in to the score like 4 times, and click the eraser icon in the simple entry window, cursor to the note, it will automatically erase the note needed to be erased in the chord. The issue was that if the cursor wasn't exactly on the note, it would delete the entire chord. Initially I had been able to do this but it seemed that in zooming out only once or twice, and a sensitive cursor would either do the note or erase the chord.. SO, I decided to try it zooming in even larger and it worked like a charm.. and saved a great deal of time... :)
