Lyric Underlay for Sibelius Files

Title: Sibelius lyric underlay — re-enter paragraph lyrics as aligned lyrics under vocal staves (Stainer's Crucifixion) Overview: I have Sibelius (Ultimate) files for movements of Stainer's The Crucifixion. The vocal music is correct, but the lyrics are currently sitting as blocks of paragraph text below the staves instead of being properly underlaid. I need the words re-entered as proper Sibelius lyrics — syllabified and aligned note-by-note under each vocal part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass). Deliverables: Each affected movement returned as a Sibelius file with lyrics correctly underlaid: each syllable positioned under the note it is sung on, for every vocal staff. Words correctly hyphenated between syllables (e.g. "cru-ci-fied") and extender lines drawn under sustained syllables/melismas. Lyrics taken from the existing paragraph text in the file — no words added, omitted, or changed. Do not add, remove, or alter anything else: no dynamics (p, f, cresc., dim.), no hairpins/crescendo marks, no slurs, ties, articulations, tempo marks, expression text, or any other notation. Do not change notes, rhythms, staves, layout, or formatting. The music must be identical to the original in every respect except that paragraph lyric text is replaced by properly underlaid lyrics. The paragraph text blocks removed once the underlay is complete. Correct verse handling where a passage has more than one verse. File must still open and play back cleanly, and export as a video without error (I use Sibelius video export). The actual end result will be exported to provide the video to these audio playbacks [login to view URL] The following sib files need to be edited: Movement 5. Verses 1 & 2. Movement 10. Verses 1 & 2. Movement 13. Verses 1 & 2. Movement 15. Verses 1 & 2. Movement 20. Verses 1 & 5. Requirements: Proficient in Sibelius Ultimate, specifically lyric entry/underlay (Create → Lyrics, syllable hyphenation, melisma extenders). Music-literate — able to match syllables to the right notes by reading the vocal line. Meticulous; choral/classical experience preferred. To apply: Confirm Sibelius Ultimate, and briefly describe how you underlay lyrics and handle melismas/multiple verses.
