To shift lyrics to the right or left

If you failed to anticipate the melisma (by typing Option+spaces, as described above) when entering the lyrics in the Lyrics window, you can adjust misaligned lyrics by using the Shift Lyrics command. For full instructions, see Lyrics—To correct misaligned lyrics.

 

Note: To anayze the score and slur melismas appropriately, use the Auto Slur Melismas plug-in.
