Lyrics?

[StepMasta]

I have learned how to create simfiles, but I have yet to know how to add lyrics to a song. Can anybody help with that?

[akstylish]

Make an .lrc file with notepad. Here's a short example:

[00:02.26]Easy!
[00:04.43]Easy!
[00:06.6]Easy!
[00:08.77]Easy!
[00:10.93]
[00:26.38]Don't have enough time
[00:28.28]
[00:28.55]Don't have enough money either
[00:30.45]
[00:30.72]Don't even have any plans

After the last line you must make a blank line or else it will stay until the end of the song.

Type [COLOUR=******] on the top to change the color of lyrics.(replace ****** with a html color code)

[StepMasta]

aight.. Does the time coordinate with the time it says on Stepmania Step Editor?(Main Menu, Edit and Sync Files)

[akstylish]

Correct.

[henke37]

Wasn't there any text speed control?

[akstylish]

Other than adjusting it with blank lines, I don't know.

Uh yeah on some songs I see it highlighted for a long time cuz its an extended word, and sometimes it goes rlly slow...

[akstylish]

You can do it with blank lines. Say you want

[00:26.38]Don't have enough time

to appear for 3 seconds. You need to add 3 seconds to the time the line appears. It goes like this:

[00:26.38]Don't have enough time
[00:29.38]

It's not a big problem, but the timing sometimes gets a bit off though even if you did it right.

K ill try that once my computer isn't lockd up anymore o.O (It will be a few more weeks) Ty.

Just as an example to illustrate lrc, here's one I made for Rock 'n Roll Princess. Of course you got your answer before, but I thought I'd include an example.

Note that I removed the "Lyrics timed by me" part... heh. It's the lyrics to the whole short version, so sorry for the spam ^^"

Also note there's a short page on it in the sm wiki: http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Song_Lyrics_-_LRC_Format
