Having problems adjusting lyrics

[George]

I've asked your threads on this problem be merged. It's confusing enough without dealing with multiple threads.

Can we assume from that response that it is not the entire song that is out of sync?

I merged all related Threads and renamed the resulting one.

If you are using Firefox, then please use Internet Explorer as Firefox implements some HTML commands poorly, and the manual formatting is messed up.

George's last question is critical. If the entire song lyrics is highlighting out of sync, then you need to update your video graphics card software driver.

If just some of the words are off, then after placing the lyrics, you need to click the "Audition Play" button, and you will see the song highlighting while it plays. When you get to the first word that is out of sync, press the spacebar. This will stop play and select the "out of sync" word that was playing.

You now have one word selected for adjustment. At this point, use the manual as a reference to read about the Audition Play button, the Adjust Play button, and how to select more words before/after the one selected, and how to move the word(s) left or right with the <> keys.

Keep in mind that adjusting is an OPTIONAL step. Often it is faster to just go back and place the lyrics again. When you edit, you cannot make the sweep as perfect as it will be if you place the lyrics from the start again, and stay in sync. There is a delay between your eyes seeing the sweep and your fingers tapping the < > keys to move. The loop play allows you to do it again, and again, but it won't be perfect. Placing the lyrics 3, 4, 5 times, each time will be better, and take less time than editing some words. Think about it.
