Ok, thanks Kenneth. Downloaded it, run it and this is my findings:
1. The lyric still just stand there.
2. Cannot change foreground color or background color.
3. Can change background, but in a limited way, to a list of 8 images...
4. No option for select font or font size...
But I guess this is just a beginning?
I really looking forward to the final product...
I tried the Karaoke5 software. First the trial of the paid version, then the free version... The paid version, as you said was not any good. Confusing UI. Not even a stop icon in the transport panel ! The free version was slimmer and better imo... But it did not show any lyric in the 8 files I saved from SF2.
So my thought at this moment is: I think few people will go trough the hassle having to install a special software in order to be able to play a Mp3 karaoke song.
So, if the output from SF2 cannot output the lyric in the Irc format, with the lrc information taken directly from the .kar or .mid file, then how can a batch convert work properly?
I think batch export as mp4 is the only real thing here. As everybody with a phone or computer can play it right away...But as you said: "Creating MP4 is still a lot further away. I would say that I currently do not have the time and capacity for it. Too many other projects at hand." I wish that was not so...
Anyway, I hope my thoughts about this will not discourage you to continue improvement of the current karaoke function in SF2
All the best,
