To copy lyrics

1. Click the Selection Tool   and select a region. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Edit Filter. The Edit Filter dialog box appears.
3. Check Lyrics (only). Click OK.   
4. Drag the first selected measure so that it’s superimposed on the first target measure. If the first target measure isn’t on the screen, scroll to it, and then option–shift-click it. In either case, the lyrics are copied from the source selection to the target music. Note that Finale will only place lyrics in the target region on notes that fall on the same beats as they did in the source region.
