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 ��
