Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

I am in the process of typesetting an entire songbook, and I have a few problems. First, when I import a document that I have scanned in Photoscore, all three verses of the song show up as lyrics line 1, and stack on top of each other. Also, how do I adjust the spacing between the base and treble clefts so I have room for more verses?

I suggest you forget about scanning lyrics. Too much correction needed even when the system works well. Later versions of Sibelius have an excellent system for pasting in lyrics using CTRL-V. Words for lots of stuff are easily found on the Internet (though you'll save time if you check them carefully before pasting in to Sibelius:-)

Thanks, that is what I ended up doing. Much faster.
