I’m noticing that lyrics do not retain their line assignments when moved elsewhere -
and that successive pastings iterate the line numbers.
Would it possibly be more helpful if this behavior was a little less helpful…?
I see other discussion on the topic.
Maybe it would be more helpful if the lyrics retain the line number applied in Properties, even if pasted elsewhere?
I’m curious why there’s any sort of automatic line switching going on…?
Is this a #bug ?
Can you describe exactly the steps you’re taking?
If I select lyrics and Alt-click them to a new staff or another bar in the same staff, they retain the same Line number.
If I paste the syllables into the popover, then they use the selected Line number of the popover.
My experience is the same as yours in the general case. This situation involves previously stacked lyrics imported from xml -
Client sent xml with stacked lyrics
xml imported into a flow
Content then pasted repeatedly for the number of verses required
Filter>Lyrics by line
Delete unused lines
Reassign lines all to line 1.
That’s the setup. Then, if I select a chunk, copy and paste it somewhere, I get weird line number changes. If I do it twice, it goes into a different line number each time.
