Re: Lyric word spanning two notes

[Stephen Torri]

As it stands I have a measure where I want to place two pieces of the
lyrics with a half note. No matter how I have attempted to say make the
first word a quarter note in length it still makes it a half note. This
throws off all the lyrics after this.

Can you point how where I am going wrong in the thirdVerse variable?
