Lyric Hyphenator
Notation software wants lyrics one syllable at a time. Paste a verse here and it comes back hyphenated, with punctuation and line breaks intact. I built it so I could stop splitting words by hand.
Hyphenate Lyrics
How to Use
- Paste lyrics and they are hyphenated automatically in sentence case.
- Adjust the Case dropdown and hit Hyphenate to reprocess.
- Press Shift + Enter anywhere to hyphenate quickly.
- Each line of output ends with a space so Finale and Dorico handle line breaks correctly.
- Use Copy Output and paste into the lyric popover of your notation program.
