I wish that lyric entry could be more based around chords and measures versus melody. I can create leadsheet for my worhsip team for instrumentals but not being able to "easily" input lyrics limits my usage and functionality in BIAB or Real Tracks. I am not a programmer but it seems that maybe by looking at programs like OpenSong.org or other programs of this nature that even have the ability to export xml we should be able to import lyrics and chords.

Interface would be built around something like this:

Measure 1 ] Measure 2 ] Measure 3 ] Measure 4 ]

|G | | | |C | | | | D | | | | G | | |
Lyrics could be entered Like this under measures

Hope this isn't confusing as the post won't hold the formatting. The chord placement holders should be spaced evenly under the measures. Hopefully we can get some discussion started to provide some ideas and thoughts. If there is already a way to do this then the instructions in BIAB aren't good enough for some of us to understand and I would like for someone to please explain to me as I am missing out on a neat part of the program.

Thanks,

Terry
