Description
Your idea
It would be just amazing to have a text box, where you could edit text of the selected section or an entire staff.
This would faciliate some search/replace functionality for quick corrections as well..
Problem to be solved
There is no easy way to navigate around the score by searching for lyrics and doing some quick corrections (e.g. when my scan program has spelled some words wrong).
This could extend the "Copy Lyrics to Clipboard" functionality.
Prior art
I think, Finale has a feature similar to this.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing "Copy Lyrics to Clipboard" functionality and how lyrics are selected for a section or staff. Define the editor and search/replace behavior around those entry points; done means lyrics can be corrected through a text box for the selected scope.
