I play out 3 nights with RB. I'm too old to remember stuff so I have the lyrics on the "comments" screen and then size it so it covers a portion of the left side of the screen. I find most lyrics on the Internet. I copy/paste them into Word were I fix them the way I want. I'll delete redundant verses/choruses etc. Set font. The I copy/paste from Word to the comments screen.Save the song and they're there forever.

So will this method sync them with the song?
Problem I have (as I currently read chords and lyrics off paper) is that I only need to look at them occasionaly and it can be hard to find where your up to halfway through the song.

Yeah live gigs
Karafun looks good. Problem is will it play Real Band files? I need to have midi program changes sent to hardware during playback.

With KaraFun you need RB to render as wav or mp3 then import into Karafun.

Ahh, no good unless there is a way to embed the midi commands into the mp3 or wave?

Can you just record the output from your mixing deck into a wav file then import to KaraFun.

Also in KaraFun you can use dual audio sources like a midi file i will have to check if you can use them simultaneously.

Nah, the midi is for triggering hardware changes and syncing with a beat synced guitar pedal so the change events need to be transmitted.

Ok another option is to put your lyrics in a GDG file and import the CDG+mp3 file into RB and RB will give you a CDG Screen with your lyrics while RB is playing So you will need CDG maker. it will be still a lot easier than putting them in as Lyrics in RB. I will just have a look for a CDG Creator and get back to you.

Great. I'll give this a go.
OK, next question, using this method how would I create a setlist of songs to either play one after the other, or play the next song in sequence when a defined button is hit.
I've tried a program called Song Library that you can create setlist etc and have it fire up Power Track songs, but I can't get it to work with Real Band.

Yes I did but I use RB but same thing. Works great with either program.You gave me an idea though for something else I'm going to try in RB. I'll post back later.

File > Import when you make a cdg karaoke you will have 2 files Choose the corresponding mp3 eg: A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash - CB5050.mp3 A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash - CB5050.cdg
RB will automatically load the CDG file

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
