You can also Filter the Selection to include only the Lyrics.

You can Duplicate to Staff Above/Below, if the rhythms are the same, or Alt-click the selection to paste it to a new location.

Or, once lyrics are selected, Copy, and then you can paste each syllable into the popover, in turn.

As Dan & Ben said, adding that you can press J to invoke the Jump Bar, type “Filter All Lyrics=fl” (or whatever you want after the equal sign), then Return and all lyrics will be selected.
The next time you need this, you can just do J > fl > Return on a selection for the same result!

I think they are called jump bar aliases.
Be careful, they are very addictive :innocent:

I know about the aliases, but I didn’t know you could create them from within the jump bar itself by using an equals sign.

Select a passage, filter for Lyrics, then copy and paste where you want. Set up a shortcut for filtering Lyrics and this goes extremely fast.

I believe I’ve learned this in a Dorico Tuesday Tips or a Discover Dorico episode. Would’ve probably never found it otherwise.
Besides, I’m not aware of how to create those in another way :smiley:
