I'll type BOY comma, and just let me type the next few lyrics. And, when I hit the space to go to the next note, you'll notice that it adds the hyphen between the words and re-spaces the music accordingly. And then, because this word is broken over two notes, I'm going to hit my hyphen key, and I'll type ny. So, I'll type in the word O, then I'll hit the space bar to go the next word, and I'll type a Dan. And, it's ready for me to start typing the lyrics.
And, notice that the cursor starts blinking below that. So, I'll select that, and to begin adding lyrics, I'll just click select the first note. So, we can add lyrics using the lyric tool, which is the one that looks like an ink well with an old-fashioned quill pen there.
