Lyrics scroll

rdmusiccreation

Is there a way to have lyrics scroll in an only lyrics mode . I am looking to use only lyrics in scroll mode in real live band performance scenarios I tried adjusting scroll speed by adjusting at 2/3rds of the song , but its bit of hit and miss. Looking to get any best practices out there for an only lyrics mode of use for a live band performance . Thanks

You haven't explained your setup, or how you are setting up songs currently, so I'll start with the basic that I've gone with if you are talking about Auto Scrolling from start to finish:

You need to define a song Duration
You need to define a song Tempo
with both of those, the first response is often "but my band doesn't play to a click so the tempo and duration will vary" to which the response is, "OK, but without these, then using Autoscroll has no way of knowing when or how fast to scroll". So, the more accurate, the better the results.

Even with that, depending on your lyric sheet layout, the autoscroll speed for each song may need tweaking so that the lyrics start to scroll when you want them to, and that by the end of the song you have what you need still visible.

It isn't an exact science using autoscroll, so if you want 'better' that's when you need to start looking at:

Using a Pedal configured to initiate a page scroll (a.k.a 'page turn'), which gives you control over when the scroll occurs (ref: https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/settings/#airturn-setup)
If using backing tracks or a click track, then investing time into timestamping lyric sheets (Ref: https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/lyrics/#time-coding-lyrics) gives you a LOT of control. You don't have to timestamp every line/phrase (but you can) as a starting point.

As @AntonyB says, we don't know how you've set up the song length and tempo... and I agree with "Even with that, depending on your lyric sheet layout..."

But I also struggle with this. We don't use backtracks. I tried scrolling manually with pedals and on screen, but no hit. It lead me to trying to use timecodes for scrolling, that get the lyrics in sync but then it jumps at timecodes that make it hard to follow.

Please read and upvote if you like it.

I think it would solve a couple of things related to this issue.
