Hello and thanks for an awesome program!

I'm working on a "sample" adaptation of a book that'll never get made because I'll never have the rights... but it includes song lyrics and making them work properly in Trelby is frustratingly hard. As far as I understand, I want each line to be separate from others. Also, as far as I can grasp, the lines shouldn't be split even if they're longer than the standard dialogue margin.

So formatting the lyrics is a pain in the ass right now. Should I do it as an "ACTION" and just capitalize it myself or is there a better way?

That's the only way right now.. though if you don't use a particular type (like SHOT), you can reconfigure that type's margins in settings, and use that as lyrics.

Use forced linebreaks and non-breaking spaces?
