Entering lyrics that don't match the notes

[TylerE]

Prepping a pop-style lead sheet.

Verse 2 doesn’t match verse 1 rythmically, but for simplicity I really only want to notate verse 1, but still show the lyrics for verse 2 in some sort of reasonable fashion.

Ideas?

(Like, imagine, for the sake of argument, verse 1 is one syllable on a half note, and verse 2 is 4 syllables at approx. 8th note spacing.)

Sure, you can enter notes in voice 2, assign lyrics to those notes, then delete the notes… and the lyrics will remain.

You can also input lyrics at any position when the caret is active (press Shift-N then input the lyric as normal, although the lyrics popover won’t advance in same way as when adding lyrics to a bunch of notes).
