How to hyphenate lyrics for MuseScore

MuseScore Studio places pasted lyrics one syllable at a time, so the text needs its hyphens first.

1. Paste English lyrics into the tool and select Hyphenate.
2. Check Words to check and Musical choices, and edit the result if needed.
3. Copy one section without its [Verse] or [Chorus] label.
4. In MuseScore Studio, select the first note and press Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on a Mac).
5. Press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac) repeatedly to paste the lyrics one syllable at a time.
