The most common reason to change it by hand is when a syllable in a bar hangs over the previous bar line because that word is too long to be centred and should be left aligned instead: One rule is that a syllable is always centred under the note and a melisma is always left aligned with the note: Remember though that Sibelius follows official engraving rules and it’s therefor better to let Sibelius do this for you. You can move a syllable or hyphen by selecting it and using the mouse or arrow keys on your keyboard. To extend or retract a hyphen, first select it and again use the space bar or space bar+shift to do this. If you want to move a word or syllable one note to the left or right, you can do this by selecting it and hitting the space bar or shift+space bar. Moving the lyrics and hyphen one note forwards or backwards Now you can edit them as you would in a word processor.
To edit the lyrics, double-click the word you want to edit or select it and hit the Return key. After having entered the lyrics in your score you probably want to edit them, correcting spelling mistakes or aligning them horizontally or vertically.
