Lightbulb Workaround

Well, I still can't figure out why the sweep is delayed in the final cdg file, but I did figure out a way to work around it.

1. Import your WAV file and lyrics.
2. Synch the lyrics as usual.
3. Create the cdg file.
4. Play back the file and count the number of seconds the sweep is delayed (a stopwatch helps here).
5. Use an editing program to add silence at the beginning of the WAV file in accordance with the delay (i.e., if sweep is delayed 3 seconds, add 3 seconds silence) and save the file with a different filename ("song" saved as "song1").
6. Start KHP and import "song" and lyrics.
7. Synch as usual.
8. Go to the directory where you saved the WAV files and rename "song" to "song2" (or whatever) and rename "song1" to "song". (Essentially you are swapping the lengthened track for the original, but KHP doesn't realize that).
9. Create your CDG file.

Voila! No more sweep lag!

I know, its a pain in the rear, but the only way I can make a usable CDG file at the moment.
