Lyrics in the cues

Hi @Mathieu_Front, here my try to create what you asked for (I understand that you want to show only the lyrics over the TAB):

  • create a new player with Zero Line above the guitar player
  • copy the singer notes and lyrics (maybe you only need the lyrics…), and hide the notes, stems and ledger lines
  • put a local open time signature for the cue staff (you loose unfortunately multi bar rests consolidation with this)
  • check this player to be visible in the Guitar layout where you have only tab active (you need to rename the layout, and the cue player to display the correct labels on the part, and to not loose track of your cue player…)
  • set the layout options for bar numbers and vertical justification etc. as shown in the screenshot/s (notice there are some unusual negative values there needed, and unchecking the automatic resolving collision option)
  • set the engraving options as required, depending on the size of your staff, etc… as shown in the screenshot/s
