Lyric placement and tempo woes


From: Peter Toye
Subject: Lyric placement and tempo woes
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:43:16 +0100

More newbie problems:

1) I'm trying to arrange a part song with lyrics for each stave. The snippet below puts the lyrics at the bottom of all the staves - but I seem to be copying the manual. See Warlock2OK attached.

2) If I add a tempo indication (delete the "%") the pitch changes (see Warlock2WRONG attached) - this is the first occasion I've heard that adding a tempo mark changes a mezzo-soprano into a baritone - she won't be happy!

Any help welcome.
 
Regards,

Peter
