Highlight independently from scrolling

jem24h

Hello Peter,

In the lyrics editor, when I put a scrolling timestamp at every line, I find it distracting and disturbing during live performance as it's constantly moving on the screen.
So now, I'm just putting timestamp for a whole paragraph (verse or chorus) but I miss having the current line highlighted.

So here is the feature which would be the best of both worlds:

adding 2 types of timestamp : 1st timestamp would trigger the scrolling, 2nd timestamp would highlight
(in practice : I would set the SCROLLING-TIMESTAMP to the beginning of the paragraph, and the HIGHLIGHT-TIMESTAMP on every line of the paragrah)

In order to make it retro-compatible with previously created songs, I would keep the current timestamp as it is SCROLLING + HIGHLIGHT, and create a new syntax for the two new ones, so we would end up with 3 buttons ( SCROLLING+HIGHLIGHT, SCOLLING ONLY, HIGHLIGHT ONLY)

Hopefully this makes sens, engligh is not my mother tongue

I will have to think about this. My first impression is it would complicate timestamping. I don‘t like the idea of having 2 additional buttons.

One soultion is to have a little longer sentences. That 'calms' down the lyric jumps. I know that's not always possible, but whenever I can, that's what I do, and now I'm happy.
