Re: [Denemo-devel] The next piece

[Nils Gey]

Thanks for the answer. I will try your method as well.
But what these automatically added lines - - - - - - -  if the lyirc line is 
not complete is really annoying. It is ok if you have lyrics completly for the 
whole piece. But if there is an instrumental part you have the lines and can't 
delete them.

Practical example from today: I want to write a song where you have one refrain 
and several verses, while the refrain comes first followed by the verse-melody. 
With one or another method is it possible to add the verses. The lines make it 
impossible to add an additional lyric-entry point in Denemo for the verse block.

I think there was an explanation why these are there. But for me it looks like 
unwanted behaviour. It is possible to deactivate this or have some workarounds?
