I have Finale 2014 & Windows 10.

If I am entering 4 verses, I obviously only want 1 chorus lyric, optimally around or between verse 2 & 3. I enter the chorus once, but for every verse line, I get a red line, undeletable.

My solution is to enter the chorus on the same line as Verse 1 (by selecting Chorus 1) and then when I print the page, I get out my white-out and remove the lines by hand. If I enter the chorus on line 2 or 3, it's harder to isolate the lines from text. Having the chorus even with Verse 1 is less than ideal, but this is my only solution. Unfortunate to have to use a no-tech solution, but I have tried the other suggestions on the forum but they either don't work, or my tech skills are too low (a usual problem for me.)

It has been very encouraging to know that others have the same problem!

Edith,

 

I’m sure we can find a better way! There is absolutely no need to get out the white-out. Can you send me the document to wawoodman at aol dot com? 

 

If you like, you can call me, and I’ll walk you through the correct steps.

  1. Depending on the nature of the music (layers, etc.) you can put the chorus into a separate, previously unused layer, which should cut off the extensions.
  2. Otherwise you could use the Extensions option of the Lyric Tool: right-click on the handle at the end of the extension you don't want and delete it.
