Thanks Sherry

I tried your suggestion. It works fine

I also tried the following procedure
1. Click the Staff Control to select the source staff with Lyrics to copy,
2. Cont+C to copy the staff
3. Select the target Staff with Staff Control button
4. Then Clicked Passed Special - Lyric.
This does not produce the error message but the copy did not work.

I found the workaround which also works
Click menu: Part - prepare Fake book Lead Sheet, using the emty Lyrics track and the Melody track. Worked great and quick

Cheers Jaap
