Sometimes it's just as easy and faster to retap the whole song after all your lyrics are correct than to try and adjust words. Before I even tap, I make sure all the lyrics will fit on the screen and then listen to the whole song (from windows media player) reading the lyrics in the edit lyrics screen and then change as necessary. It also helps me get more familiar with the song (not that I need it after recording it). But if a client brings in a song they wrote and recorded and want it to CDG, that extra listen helps. I have also found to lay down a scratch vocal and tap with that track and then just replace the audio with the minus track. I've done more than 500 songs and so now it takes maybe 15 minutes, start to finish to do a track.

I do agree with you on wanting to start in the middle of a song sometimes. A 6 minute song can get really long if you mess up the second to the last line or forget to put an extra chorus at the end or something silly like that. Or if there are 2 minutes of instrumental before the vocals start. Two minutes of doing nothing. Unless there was a way to put up multiple graphic pages at 15 second intervals for advertisement or something, so you don't have to look at the same lyrics or graphic for 2 minutes, not knowing exactly where the song starts. Or maybe a graphic in the middle of the song for the instrumental break (more advertising space possible).

Admin, how hard would it be to be able to put in multiple graphic pages as a future option?
