Melody and Lyrics...???

[dflat]

I put text in a song, moved it up with the arrow, leaving me room for another line of text. How do I add the additional text under the first line?

Hello Phil,
As Bob commented, there is no additional lines within (below) a staff text line for lyrics as you want. Adding on from his suggestion, you can simulate a 3 line text by leaving the first system's text where it is, the second system's text up halfway, and the third up fully.

Another thought is related to viewing your lyrics as the iReal b plays in the background. You could save your lyrics in a PDF, then use a PDF viewer. See:

We may create some kind of lyrics page facility in the future. Thanks for your question.

Reading melody above chords works great! I've done this with about 40 jazz standards but can't post them because of copyright.

Merging melody (in numbered notation) directly into an existing iReal b song is something the next version of Rousseau MusicPad will do once Apple gets iReal b out of "Waiting for Review" status and testing can start.

ADMIN EDIT:
I have copied Norman's comment and post relating to melody and Rousseau MusicPad and iReal b to a separate thread here:

Nothing beats irb for OMB players, sessions and rehearsals without the band. For busking with lyrics though, I use The Chordinator (Android app), which has no player but scrolls lyrics and chords like a teleprompter and can import chordPro and txt file formats. It has no forum either, and no song collection, therefore it's more or less intended for songwriters and buskers than jazz instrumentalists.

for iOS users, the app OnSong is good. Chords, lyrics, wireless foot pedal (Airturn for instance), transposing, chord diagrams etc. and imports various formats.
