Click on the staff at the position of the syllable
you want to move. Don’t click the syllable. Just click within the
staff lines in line with the syllable you want to move or delete; its
handle appears.
Drag the handle to reposition the syllable.
Select it and press the arrow keys to “nudge” it for fine positioning;
select it and press DELETE to remove the syllable. Note that this
method of deleting a syllable doesn’t pull the following syllables one
note to the left; it allows you simply to remove a selected syllable,
leaving all other syllables where they are. To delete a syllable where
you want the remaining syllables to slide over to compensate, see To correct misaligned
lyrics.
To restore a syllable to its original position,
click its handle and press BACKSPACE.
