Lyrics From CD+G

[pmc181]

Is there any way to export the lyrics from an existing CD+G file ? I want to use Microstudio to import just the music from 30 CD+G'S so I can edit the wave. In each wave file I want to add a count in measure and then volume balance all the waves the same. I have the software to do the count in and the volume balancing of each wave.

What I want to know is, is there any easy way to export the lyrics out of an existing CD+G file so when I am done with the wave editing, I can paste the lyrics in KPRO and tab to put them back into sequence ?

I know I can go to sites on the net and get the lyrics and copy them into Notepad, but that takes time to search, and a lot of the lyrics are not totally correct. So, I thought it would be a lot easier if I could just copy the existing lyrics from the CD+G that I'm working on and paste that into KPRO instead of looking them up on the net.

Thanks,

Paul

Don't believe that's possible. Here's an excellent tip from Jahern, one of our members. This will dramatically cut your surfing for lyrics time down to a minimum.

A Tip On Getting Lyrics From Internet
I don't know if anybody has heard this tip on getting song lyrics from the internet.

Don't look for the title!! You will be presented with ten thousand record stores that sell Beatles albums! You may find the lyrics eventually, but you will have to swim through all the others before you do.

Instead, exactly quote an obscure line from the song, as shown below.

For Instance, if I wanted the lyrics to the Beatles I Saw Her Standing There, I would go to my favorite Search Engine and type:

"boom when I crossed that" - YOU MUST ADD THE QUOTATION MARKS!!!

If the words are all spelled right and are exactly as in the song (try to avoid puncuations), you will be presented only with web site page links that contain the lyrics for this song!

Admin here: This is an incredibly simple, yet powerful suggestion. I have edited this for a bit more clarity, but extend all or our thanks to Jahern for this post!

And here's another time saver from Scoob that's worth repeating.

Tip: Capitalizing all lyrics with MS WORD
You can import lyrics from the internet, but a lot of times they are
in Proper case (first letter of sentence capital, rest lowercase).

Here's how to change them all in Word to uppercase:

Copy lyrics from web (highlight lyrics and right-click copy or CTL+C)
Open Word, paste lyrics (CTL+V)
Select all text (CTL+A)

Goto Format - Change Case - Upper Case

With the text still highlighted, go into KHP(OR WHEREVER YOU WANT TO SAVE THE LYRICS)

Right click-paste or CTL+V them into the lyric edit window.

Viola! Instant caps!

I thought the above post by Scoob 7809 last year worth rehashing here. I use this method all the time with Word Perfect, and it is a blessing. Thanks again Scoob 7809.

Thanks George,
Looks like I have to do it the old fashioned way.
