Viewing lyrics and chords with Songs
You can see the following types of lyrics and chords:
•
Lyrics contained in a Standard MIDI File or Karaoke™ file
as Lyrics events, or in an MP3 with Lyrics file (in ID3 for-
mat – see www.id3.org).
•
Lyrics contained in a ".CDG" file, loaded with an MP3 file
with the same name. When a ".CDG" file exists in the same
directory as an MP3 file, and shares exactly the same name,
it will be loaded with the "MP3" file.
•
Lyrics contained in a ".TXT" file, loaded with a Standard
MIDI File, Karaoke™ or MP3 file with the same name.
When a ".TXT" file exists in the same directory as a Stan-
dard MIDI File or MP3 file, and shares exactly the same
name, it will be loaded with the ".MID" or "MP3" file (see
"Text files loaded with Standard MIDI Files and MP3 files"
on page 184).
•
Lyrics contained in a ".TXT" file linked to the latest-
selected Song-based SongBook entry (see "Linked .TXT"
on page 180).
•
When no lyrics data is contained in the Song, or linked to a
SongBook entry, you can see lyrics contained in a ".TXT"
file loaded after selecting a Song (see "On-the-fly TXT
loading" below).
This is the priority of lyrics data shown in the display:
i)
CDG file contained in the same folder as the MP3 file, over-
riding...
ii)
TXT file linked to a SongBook entry, overriding...
iii) TXT file contained in the same folder as the Standard
MIDI File or MP3 file, recalled by a SongBook entry, over-
riding...
iv)
Lyrics events contained in the Standard MIDI File or MP3 file.
Hint: If you do not want to see the TXT file or the CDG file, and
prefer to see the Lyrics data, rename the TXT or CDG file, or move
it to a different folder.
