Adding And Editing Lyrics In The Staff View - CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual

Adding and Editing Lyrics in the Staff View

The Staff view displays lyrics below their associated track. If the track is
split into treble/bass staves, lyrics are aligned with notes in both staves,
but are displayed below the treble staff.
When a lyric word or syllable spans multiple notes, a trailing underline
or series of regularly spaced hyphens is automatically drawn, following
conventional lyric notation practice.
