Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

In MS3 you used to be able to add additional verses not only by selecting a note that has an attached syllable and pressing Command L, but also by selecting the syllable itself and pressing Command L.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Click on a syllable.
  2. Go to Add > Text > Lyrics (or use the shortcut Command L).
  3. See error: a syllable is not added below the selected syllable, like it would have if you had selected a note in step 1.
