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.

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
