I had a search and I haven’t seen this bug reported yet. When you fix a spelling mistake in a lyric in the new score editor it creates a new midi event rather than changing it. I have to manually delete the old midi event in the List Editor.
Before:
Fix spelling:
After (two lyrics displayed on top of eachother):
Well… that looks like a bug. There are a few peculiar behaviors I’ve found when editing but have mostly been able to figure out what the program really wants in those instances. Hopefully that next update will have resolutions for this and the others…
Are you double clicking the existing lyric to edit?
I haven’t been able to reproduce this with 14.0.10, and also the upcoming patch release, so there is a good chance that this will be fixed regardless.
Yes I’m double clicking. Are you using a multi syllable lyric like above?
Perhaps this is only occuring in the second or last syllable of a multi syllable lyric. When i rename the ‘a’ above its ok, but ‘gain’ is wrong every time.
Have just tried again with a multi syllable lyric, appears to be fine. Assuming you are on 14.0.10, I’d suggest checking again with the upcoming patch release. Hope the workaround with the list editor is acceptable for now.
I have managed to reproduce it in a small project with 1 track and a few midi events that I’m attaching here. On 14.0.10 on an M2 Mac when I rename the last syllable (‘gainn’) by double clicking it in the score editor it creates an extra midi event with the new text.
When I tried to create something similar from scratch the bug did not occur, but this midi event was copied from one of my larger projects. I’ve been suspecting that in larger score based projects some weird things like this start happening. Hopefully this will help narrow that down.
Looking forward to the maintenance release!

Thanks, I can reproduce the problem with you file. Not quite sure yet how it got into that specific state, can’t see how the size of the project would have an impact.
