Ideas about lyrics input

[CyrilleB]

Actually, the idea is not to have the lyrics displayed on the chart itself but been displayed while the song is played (just like karaoke). Because:
First, there are not enough space on the chart to add all the lyrics, it would become too crowded.
Second, for copyright reason, it's best not to have them written on the chart itself.
To insert the lyrics, we could use the same button for selecting the type of input (chord, alt. chord, text), and then add one more type for the lyrics. The lyrics could then be displayed only in editing mode (in semi-transparent color, just for checking and verifying the content), and then be displayed only when playing the song after selecting a new mode (similar to the keyboard left/right hand voicing or guitar tab) in the lower part of the screen.
Also I don't think there's any copyright issues about lyrics. Some people may use IRP only for their own original material. If the music/lyrics is their own creation, there's nothing wrong about IRP displaying their own lyrics.
If someone want to share other people's lyrics, they should assume the responsibility.

I'm not going to argue with you over copywriter except to say you are misinformed. ��
I thought I made it clear I am not interested in karaoke style lyrics. ��
I was trying to be polite about how your idea might work for my uses .��
Never mind ��

Not everyone is using iPad or Mac with IRP. Many people are just using their smartphone. So to fit lyrics in a seperate window would be something difficult to achieve with such small screens. Or maybe having a floating popup window that can be turn on or off could work.
I know the karaoke idea might not suit everyone's need but I think some people could be interested.
