Description

Your idea

“Text / Words”, this group lacks the function to write words / lyrics for the entire song under the score (and not just for a selected note).
Also missing from the top are text functions editing (for quick settings) such as Font, Font Size, Font Color, Bold, Underline, Italic, Text Arrangement (text from left, right, left and right, center out).
Functions for writing text / lyrics, should be on the main MuseScore window - in a prominent place (and not hidden in a deep menu).
This is very important for text functions in MuseScore.
Example on jpg image file.
This is much needed in MuseScore.

The issue mentions MuseScore’s main “Text / Words” window and lyrics beneath the score, with an attached JPG as context. Start by locating the existing text and lyrics controls; done means supporting whole-song lyric entry and prominent editing controls for font, size, color, bold, underline, italic, and alignment.
