Choose a lyrics line bewteen 1 and 5. NtEd is in lyrics mode. Write a text on keyboard. The text appears below the note.

To skip to next note either press a - key or press space key. To place a space inside a syllable insert an underscore(_) or a non breaking space symbol(\.). Finish the lyrics mode with ESC.

To modify lyrics make sure NtEd is in edit mode (see The 3 modes). Select a note with lyrics and choose:

You can delete a letter by pressing the backspace key. If you delete the last letter the lyrics of this line are removed from current note. Finish the lyrics mode with ESC.

The 2nd possibility is to use the lyrics editor. If there are more than 2 staves select an arbitrary element of the staff the lyrics shall attached to. Choose:

Tools → Lyrics editor

The lyrics editor appears:

Select the verse by selecting a tab! Then insert the lyrics syllable by syllable. Every hyphen and every space is interpreted as separator. To leave on note blank place a single dot('.'). To place a space inside a syllable insert an underscore(_) or a non breaking space symbol(\.).
