MC 26.0.30

Sorry if this has been covered extensively but I could not locate a thread exclusive to the Lyrics display.
First - Outstanding, a wonderful addition(I am aware it did not begin with MC 26).
A couple of thoughts...
1. This lyrics display is too transparent.
2. The lyrics don't scroll. Frequently the song exceeds the display space.
    * Make the lyrics display a modeless dialog box with a 'cancel' button that will scroll.
    * Change the lyrics in the display when the track changes.
3. Make a button that can be put on the toolbar to add/stop the lyrics display

Regards,

Milt

Milt - For any media player to be able to "scroll lyrics" the source of those lyrics has to contain something that is missing from the Lyrics Files that MC, and other Media Players, can access - Extremely Accurate Timing Information. MC26.0.42 introduced the ability to page lyrics, which could be called "pseudo scrolling" since it does automatically move onto the next page of lyrics at a time it has calculated from the Tracks Duration.

I don't expect the software to scroll accurately. That is the point of the scroll bar and a dialog box. The software does know when one track has finished and another started.
