any possibility of more than one highlight color

Hmmm, sounds doable. I'd have to spend some time on this to make sure it doesn't break anything and is compatible across "classic" and "mobile", but I'll put it on the backlog.

Mind you, my current priority is getting MIDI for the mobile version done, then I might take a closer look at this.

I would vote for this too.  I am currently using LyricPad, and it allows you to highlight text with {}, [], or <>.  It is helpful on the dimly lit stage.

Thanks!

I have gotten around this by using the {cco:text} through {cc9:text}.  10 colors, and you can sandwich those commands between the {textsize:X} commands.  


{textsize:130}

{cc0:My Text To Display}

{textsize:90}

The only "limitation" is that your highlighted test has to be the only thing on the line (or so it seems.)

This works great in my case.

Quick update after some brainstorming with band members: current thinking is to have more than 3 different highlighs; thinking about 5. We have three singers who share lead duties, so we'll be using the "normal" color for the designated lead singer, and three separate highlights for the others who can then come in for individual phrases and lines. A fourth color then for "all" singers, and a fifth one just in case...

Using multiple angled brackets for that is just not practical, so current thinking is to use a digit after the opening bracket to identify the comment (no digit meaning 1). So it would look like this:

This is a line >with< >2multiple< >3highlights<

This would be a bit of a breaking change - the only cases this would affect are those where someone put a digit right after the highlight, e.g. for a count-in: >1 - 2 - 3 - 4<

Easily fixed by adding a digit - >11 - 2 - 3 - 4<, but initially, this could make some songs look funny until corrected.

Not too grave, so I think an acceptable change.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Torsten
