Cakewalk has the ability to add lyrics directly to the Staff View. To do so, select the Pencil tool and move the cursor underneath the lowest note on the staff. Continue to move the cursor down until the pencil appears with a capital "T" next to it; then click. If the cursor is properly positioned under the note, you will see an insertion box. If not, another note will be added (simply use the Undo feature to delete the unwanted note).

After typing each word, press SPACEBAR to advance the editing bar to the next associated note. Use hyphens to separate a word by syllables. Each syllable will be aligned with a single note in that track.

Editing Lyrics
If you change your mind or misspell a word, simply click on the word to be changed. The editing box reappears around that word, the word is highlighted, and you can change or edit it as you please. You can use the Erase tool to delete lyrics as well as notes.

You can use the TAB key to select the next word, or SHIFT+TAB to select the previous word.

The Hy-phen-a-tor! TM
The Hy-phen-a-tor! is a utility you can add to Cakewalk to automatically separate a word by syllables. Once installed, you will see a new button, Hyphenate, in the Lyrics View. The Hy-phen-a-tor! has a dictionary of more than 150,000 words.

Tools
Select Tool
Use the Select tool to select notes/regions you want to edit. It is also useful for setting up loop points.

Shortcut key: S

Pencil Tool
Use the Pencil tool to insert new notes and lyrics.

You can also delete notes with the Pencil tool. Simply click and hold down the left mouse button over a note, then press the DELETE key.

Shortcut key: D

Erase Tool
Use the Erase tool to delete notes and lyrics.

Scrub Tool
To audition those notes currently displayed in the Staff View, select the Scrub tool. Move the pointer to the beginning of the Staff View; click and drag to display the vertical scrub line. As the line moves over the notes, they play. You can use the Scrub tool to move backward and forward and to play the displayed notes as slowly as you like.

The Scrub tool is only useful for playing currently displayed notes in the Staff View, not for playing an entire sequence.
