Let's answer this question under the bizarre, unthinkable assumption that people still do, mmkay?

Any ideas?

Put the second singer's lines in parentheses.

Hi I'm a dude (that guy is a dude)
I like to eat cheese (especially on nachos)

etc.

What dore said or different fonts.

Re: Question about lyric files - two simultaneous lines of text?

Hmm, thanks for the tips, but parentheses around words just show up on the file as... well... parentheses around words. It's not showing up on a separate line, and more importantly, not showing up on a separate line while lighting up simultaneously as the first line lights up. And as far as I know, you can't actually change the font of specific words in notepad documents. Perhaps this is just a limitation to lrc files? It's ultimately not a big deal - one of the words in a lyric file I'm writing will just be a bit off synch since there's two people singing at once for about 2 seconds when that word is spoken. I can deal.

make two lrc. files?

Re: Question about lyric files - two simultaneous lines of text?

That's an interesting idea, but is there a way to make SM recognize the fact that there are two lrc files? Usually I just directly edit the lyric line of the .sm to tell sm what the lyric file is...

add another lyric line in the .sm?

Re: Question about lyric files - two simultaneous lines of text?

nope, I've tried that already. Both:

#LYRICSPATH:filea.lrc,fileb.lrc;

and

#LYRICSPATH:filea.lrc;
#LYRICSPATH:fileb.lrc;

failed to work.

The feature is unavailable in SM builds at this moment (Probably SM4SVN will have this feature)

Re: Question about lyric files - two simultaneous lines of text?

what gave you the idea that you could use two lyric files at once?

Re: Question about lyric files - two simultaneous lines of text?

The closest you can get to that is by using a pipe. It still reads it from start to end, but at least it will appear somewhat like you want it to.

i.e.
[00:43.200]I'm dreaming of a world|where FFR doesn't suck

I'm dreaming of a world
where FFR doesn't suck

Re: Question about lyric files - two simultaneous lines of text?

Yeah that's what I've concluded too - it's just a limitation of SM I'll have to deal with for now.

Thanks everyone for your help!
