Lyric custom text instead of verse numbers and hyphen question

[DennisMusic]

I’m getting close to the look I want. Instead of verse numbers I needed this custom text. I achieved this by adding “Year A” etc as lyrics in the keyboard part and moved them in Engrave Mode (found that solution on another post topic) It seems like there should be a better way, for now the spacing of the keyboard system has moved down to make room for non-existing lyrics.

Another problem, the hyphen in reconciliation. I created a paragraph style with an indentation for long lyrics, but unfortunately it also indents the hyphen which now runs into the next syllable. Any ideas on a solution?

At the very worst, you should be able to move it manually in engrave mode.

@DennisMusic
Have you considered moving “and intrusting…” back into the Verse-1 level even with “God was reconciling”?

I’m copying the format of another publisher’s standard. I think the philosophy is read from the same line until space runs out and then go down, never up.

No complaint about that. But out of curiosity: Why (or for whom) are you recopying it?

The music is mine, just copying another publishers appearance as I learn this new program.
