Is it possible to create and edit lyrics in a MIDI file with music studio. The program displays them but I can't find a way to create or edit them. Thanks for help.
A MIDI file and an audio are two different objects.
A midi file contains no audio - it is a set of instructions for a MIDI instrument on what notes to play when and for how long etc.
If you are using the Choir instrument then the 'voices' are controlled by the MIDI notes the same as any other MIDI instrument - these you can either create manually in the MIDI Editor or by playing a MIDI keyboard.
For lyrics, ie the words of a song, they have to be recorded and saved in a standard audio file format

This is not entirely true. There are ways to add lyrics to Midi Files, something which is done with files intended for karaoke. A number of DAWs can do this - Cubase, Sonar for instance). I've no idea if this is possible in "Music Studio". Perhaps more likely in Samplitude Music Studio.
Thanks, yes it’s the lyrics in a MIDI file I’m interested in, like for Karaoke. Music Studio can display them and shows them in the score editor. I’m wondering if the program has the capability to create and edit them.

I can see that it can display them and you can add a lyrics marker but I can't see any way of actually adding or editing lyrics. I guess a karaoke program would be needed although I believe that Sonar is quite good at this. At least you'll then be able to see the lyrics in Music Studio.
So the answer is - put lyric markers in and then go to the marker manager where you can then create and edit the lyrics. I will be looking at other programs to do this though as seems a little bit cumbersome in Music studio.
