Hi Satauna,

I haven't had any experience with writing lyrics, but I did experiment with 
a sighted colleague one day to come up with a suitable format for basic 
things such as size and styling of fonts for jazz lead sheets, default 
positions for 1st and 2nd endings, chord symbols, rehearsal marks, stuff 
like that and once everybody was happy with what they were reading I could 
save the basic layout to Save to Manuscript.  Hope this is clear.  I am 
happy to pass on what was recommended for the setup.
Maree
