You have to make sure that the lyrics are in one line as the "end-of-line" character is also the indication for "end-of-record". So the next line of lyrics would be treated as the lyrics for the next file. So: prepare your text file by replacing each "end-of-line" character with a character that is hardly ever used in normal language e.g. # or \_. E.g. It's been a hard day's night And I've been working like a dog becomes It's been a hard day's night\_And I've been working like a dog When importing the lyrics into the tag, enter %lyrics% as target field. Actually, there are web sources plus tools that do some of the tricks for you.
