Lines
Actually, once the lyrics have been placed and synced, you cannot just add enter to make a line break. You need to do an alt-enter to get that line to move down. Unfortunately when you do this, you have to re-stripe the entire song. This is one reason I'd like to be able to have an easier way to edit the striping or not have to stripe the whole song in the same pass. I have several times (when I first started doing these) got to the end of the song and then find out I forgot to add the last "yeah yeah yeah" or something like that and so I had to re-stripe the whole song. How about that for an upgrade submission?
I also use wordpad when I first import my lyrics and edit from there. I always listen to the vocal demo with my wordpad window up to make changes before I try to stripe it. When I think I have it right, I open up kpro and then start to stripe. The first time I open it I let the music play for about 5 seconds and just hit my space bar a couple of times then stop the music. I then go to adjust lyrics screen and quickly look at each page to double make sure I don't have lines going off the TV screen and then make adjustments as necessary.
A couple of things I have noticed on fast songs, sometimes the top line wont draw fast enough because the clear doesn't start until the last line on a page. In this case I put two line breaks in, and on one of the lines use a "^" to designate a page break. Once again only by using the alt-enter can you get these lines to break. On super fast songs I usually end up setting 5 lines and a little smaller font than what George said.
Keep working with it. I've now done hundreds of songs with k-pro and it usually only takes me about 10 minutes to do a song.
There may be others here with other helpful tips also.
