Adding LYRICS
Adding lyrics is a fairly simple process. Since the lyrics are
synchronized to the melody, we must generate the score
before lyrics can be added. Now we will use the score as a
guide to add the lyrics.
Press SONG PLAYER/EDIT again and then press ESCAPE to
return to the main menu.
Now select EDIT
SCORE (F6)
The first word, (or the first syllable) of the lyrics should be
synchronized with the first note of the melody. Most songs usually
have a introduction which lasts for a few measures before the
melody starts. We will use the NEXT EVENT button at the left to
step into the song until we reach the first note of the score.
Keep pressing NEXT
EVENT until the
flashing cursor
lands directly
beneath the first
melody note.
Now type in the first word or first syllable of the lyrics. If you
are entering a syllable instead of a whole word, (for example,
the Hel of the word Hel_lo!), finish by adding an
underscore character, (which is located on the top B key of
the keyboard), which tells the system that the word is
incomplete.
