After you’ve typed lyrics into the Edit Lyrics window, choose Click Assignment from the Lyrics menu. The scrolling Click Assignment window appears; (move the Click Assignment window out of the way, if necessary, by dragging its title bar). A syllable from the left end of this window attaches itself to each note you click (or, if the note is in Voice 2, each one you shift-click).
If you option-click a note, however, Finale will zip through your entire set of lyrics, intelligently distributing them to the notes in the score skipping rests and tied notes, as well as notes in different layers and voice two, for as many notes as there are syllables. (Click Assignment will stop at default whole rests.) See Click Assignment dialog box for a more complete discussion.
