Re: Aligning lyrics between rests

[Sarah k Alawami]

I dont' recall anything in the tutorial about lyrics. Since I am still learning 
about the visual world of music can you give an example  as to why you would 
want to do this? Just curious here and I absorb everything I learn in case I 
need it later.

Tc all and be blessed.
