VividLyrics Editor
VividLyrics Editor is a application that allows you to edit and make karaoke files, lyrics files(VL, LRC, Enhanced LRC) for your favorite songs.
1. Lyrics and Syncpoint: It is necessary to set syncpoints while some words sung faster and some words sung slower in a lyrics line. A syncpoint can be set at any place except start and end of line. Syncpoints divide a line into several parts. A part of lyrics is called a lyrics piece. A line having no syncpoint also is a lyrics piece. The lyrics pieces are always shown in colors alternating between cyan and orange(by default). The first is cyan, the second is orange, the third is cyan, the fourth is orange... and so on(by default).
2. Timestamp: The timestamp defines a lyrics piece's start and finish times, measured in 10-millisecond. The first timestamp corresponds to the first lyrics piece, the second timestamp corresponds to the second lyrics piece... and so on. A timestamp and its corresponding lyrics piece have same color(by default). See the screenshot above, the parts of the scope shown in cyan or orange indicate there marked the timestamps.
3. Current Playback Position: The small/big red crosses indicate the current palyback position. If the scope window has the keyboard focus, it shows the big red cross, otherwise, it shows the small red cross.
4. Lyrics Preview: The program will update the preview immediately when a lyrics piece or a timestamp has been changed.
5. Seek bar: It shows the progress of the playback. To jump to a specific location in a song, hold down the left mouse button on the seek bar and then drag the mouse left or right.
