Dave, Thanks for the quick reply. I have two other computers in the house that have Windows on them (I run a home-based computer support business), so I can use Sibelius on them if I have to...but I would rather switch toLilypond.
A very wise choice indeed. The place to start reading for lyrics is: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vocal-music#Vocal-musicLilypond's default spacing and alignment for lyrics is better than Finale and co., as described here
http://www.musicbyandrew.ca/finale-lilypond-3.htmlUsing Lilypond's \override, \set or \tweak commands, either on their own, or with \once, gives you complete control over where things go on your page.
By the way, my download link didn't seem to transfer properly. The file is on my website: http://www.practicatechnical.com. Type that inthe browser address field and add /files/flowers.pdf.
Just put the whole link in and send as plain text -- most mail clients realise it's a URL, and will take you straight there.
