How do I turn off spell check for lyrics in the Music app?

Adding 'custom' lyrics in (was iTunes) now Music, looks a complete mess for non-English songs.


Clicking the 'spelling and grammar' menu all options are ticked/checked ☑️


I'd have thought clicking 'check spelling while typing' and/or 'correct spelling automatically would untick it, but no.


Music help menu has no results when searching 'spelling.'


I've started teaching the app loads of french words, but it takes so long!


Does anyone know how to turn off automatic spelling in Music please?


Thanks.

Completely agree.

Over the last few OS updates, things have gone very incoherent.

I even have the same problem for lyrics in English, as soon as there are strange words such as "ooh-ah".

There is no effect if you disable spelling checking globally in the System Settings.

Also, in those settings I cannot disable "Portuguese" for some strange reason.


Another strange thing with the lyrics panel in Music is that there is no longer a frame around the text box. That surprised me. I did not know what to do until I spotted the blinking cursor.


And so on.

Not to mention the catastrophe that Mail is (Eudora was much better).

I have already reported all these things to Apple, but they seem to prefer to output a new bunch of bugs every October. Don't ask my wife what she thinks of "Sonoma".


Bonne Soirée...
