Les;
Split the syllables of words with a hyphen (-). To extend a syllable to cover several notes, follow it immediately (no break, but you can include punctuation) with an underscore.
Make sure you keep your punctuation tight agaist the letters, otherwise it treats it as a syllable: ""go", I said" will fit 3 notes. "" go ", I said" would need 5.
To delay the next word from appearing in the music, prefix it with an asterisk.
To go to the first note after the next barline, use the 'pipe' symbol '|'(Upper case backslash next to 'z')
To leave several bars on music with no words use multiple pipe symbols.

Trial & error is GREAT!
