For those of us who do a lot of vocals “live” with BIAB, my biggest request would be the addition of some kind of control for size and type of fonts for bar lyrics, just as provided for the chord fonts. In my uses, viewing the lyrics is equally important to the chord symbols. Under Chord Display, then, Layers, (or somewhere else), why not some easy options to manage lyric size, word font, and, maybe, color choices of lyrics, allowing adjustment of chord size within cells in proportion to the lyric? Maybe to the point of an equal size balance between the two? Hope such a request is reasonable and doable under BIAB’s current structure.

I personally don't use this feature, but if it's not there, it should be.

In the top, left of the window open the drop down menu.

Select "Bar Lyrics Layer (Text)".

Select the ""Choose Font" button.

Jim:
Many thanks for the directions provided re bar lyrics. They were very clear. However, I can’t seem to get the font type or size to change for bar lyrics. Yes, I can change the size of the chord symbols. The coloration of the background in the lyric cell will change, but not the size of the lyrics and the fonts within the cell. I tried many of the various options, but it had no effect on the lyric size. Maybe I’ve not got the knack of it. I’m running BIAB 2019, with the latest build. I didn’t realize that the “Window Background” (top left on the Display Options page) was a drop-down menu. I assumed it was only a label describing the colors below it that could be changed. I’m not very computer savvy. If I can’t get the lyric size any larger than it is----assuming that’s the program default that’s static and can’t be changed-----I guess I’ll go back to mixing my backing tracks down to wav files for gigging and go back to 3-ring notebooks, where I can type the lyrics to any size desired. If someone has had success with this issue, maybe they could post some examples.
