Hi,

I've unintentionally hidden the lyrics of one of my staves and I'm now not able to reveal the text. The text is still there, but it's not shown.

I've tried a lot: I've marked/ selected all relevant staves and pressed the 'show lyrics' or the 'reveal hidden lyrics' buttons, but nothing happend. :(

Any idea of how to reveal the text?

Hi,

Maybe you could post the file here and let some of us take a whack at it?

ttfn,

Here is the file. The text for the staves named Alt 1 are hidden.

Hi,

I was not able to unhide the lyrics for that particular staff either. Perhaps there was some editing step that removed them? You can check the autosave backup copies of your file to see if the lyrics are present in one of those. Just use "File/Autosave recovery" to see a list of back up files. Find the filename-1.not version of your file for the most recently saved (there should be at least 5 iterations unless you've made changes to the Autosave settings.)

Hope that helps!

Hi Sherry,

no, the autosave files didn't help, but I think I've found another way to solve this problem: I've added a new staff and copied the Alt 1 staves and *bling*, the hidden lyrics are shown again :)

I don't know if we should call it a miracle or just a software bug :D

Hi snoops,

Great work. - You said:

“I don't know if we should call it a miracle or just a software bug.”

I think, some software companies prefer to see a bug as a miracle, though not this one.


Best wishes,

Herbert
