I am running Finale 11b under Windows, but I think this is a generic question. I have a second stave that echoes lyrics from the first stave. When I try to edit the lyrics it only allows me to edit the lyrics in the first stave.  How do I get to the second stave?  Thank you.

How did you enter the lyrics in the second staff? Did you attach them to the notes in that layer? Did you change the verse number?

 

In any case, double-clicking on on of those lyrics should automatically put you in the correct verse to edit.

Thanks for the attempt.  Unfortunately, I did the original 5 years ago and do not recall how I did it.  Double clicking doesn't get me access to the existing text.  I even tried copying the song and deleting the first stave.  Then I tried to access the lyrics in the remaining stave and it would not let me.  I'm wondering if it is tied to the title; the original was [staff 1] and the remaining one was [staff 3]. Couldn't figure out how to change that.  Also tried reordering the staves in the original and that did not work either.

Figured it out.  In the Lyric window I specified Chorus for the second stave lyrics.  Thanks for your help.
