And I would misspell the word intentionally so the singer knows how to pronounce it. But tha'ts the way I write my music as not all o them know how to do proper vowel mouth shape and stuff so it would look like crah-sing. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 11:29 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Help with Lyrics Kevin, I would disagree with where you're breaking the word. A word like crossing needs to be properly broken as cros-sing. You don't allow the ending syllable to start with a vowel. That's what I learned in 2nd grade.

As in, "I'm crossing you in style". -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Gibbs Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 10:11 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Help with Lyrics You press the space bar twice and this draws a long line that shows the reader that the previous syllable extends to the next note. JaWS will tell you where you are in bars and beats. So, when JAWS tells you that you've come to bar 3, beat 1, you know it's time for the syllable, wid as in wider. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Annabelle Susan Morison Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 10:00 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Help with Lyrics Hi, it's Annabelle. I'm making a lead sheet of "Moon River", and I want to include lyrics. However, the confusion sets in when I get to, for example "Moon ri-ver". Since the "ver" syllable is supposed to be sung on a note which ties to another note, how would I achieve this?
