Lyrics under tablature

Well, I think I did myself in.

I finished a chart for a guitar player who wants notation, tablature and wants the lyrics included. I used the ‘Guitar with tablature’ template.

Is it true that Dorico can’t display the lyrics under the tablature, only under the notation? If yes, has anyone found a workaround for this?

If I created a chart with only Tablature, would I be able to display lyrics under the tab?

If both notation and tablature staves of an instrument are shown, then the lyrics will appear on the notation staff, but if you’re only showing one or the other then they will appear on whichever is showing - that can be either notation or tab.

You should just be able to edit your existing score to hide the notation staff - see the “Fretted Instruments” section of the Players page of Layout Options.
