Janco:
Great plugin!
However, it would be even nicer if it wouldn't be a plugin but part of the wps screen.
I could then define a lyrics line (or a couple of them) in the wps definition (new tag type). In case a lyrics file is present, it would show the current lyrics at the defined line(s). In case it's absent, it would show some other useful (or useless) information (also defined by a tag, like next song title, or, who knows, album art bitmap).
This would give us more flexibility: we wouldn't need to start a plugin all the time, and and we wouldn't have to remember for which songs we do and for which songs we don't have lyrics on our player.

Can you give detailed indtructions on how to make it work? Please. I do not know how to program so please be as specific as you can. THANK YOU for your time and effort
Janco:
Well, in fact it was a suggestion for the programmer of the plugin to improve things (at least for me). Without programming this definitely doesn't work. Some fairly profound C knowledge is indispensible. Sorry!
(:@):
the plugin is updated.
i think this is the final version...

Thank you very much. I was just thinking how good it would be to have basic edit facilities, for example when your lyrics file doesn't contain repeated chorus lines. On a related issue: Can you suggest a way to insert blank lines (e.g. for guitar solos)? Maybe if neither are nor b are set, play-hold could insert an empty line? That would make it even better.
A pity to hear that you think it is the final version. This thread is currently the main reason I keep checking the forums. ;)
I must admit I have been hacking away on your program a little to change it to my liking. For example I have written a new read_line function that wraps according to the screen width taking into account the width of the characters. I also convert non-utf8 files on the fly to utf-8 using the function iso_convert from the plugin api, so I don't have to mess with my lyrics files. And some other small things. If you want I can supply a patch, but it is all a little hackish.
Anyway. Thanks again. A very nice contribution to Rockbox.
