Chapter 13: Lyric Enhancements

Big Lyrics Window Enhancements

Chords can now be displayed on a row above the lyrics on the Big Lyrics window. Separate chord colors are used

for the Chords and Lyrics, allowing these elements to be visually separated.

On the Big Lyrics Window Options dialog, if you set “Show Chord Symbols Above Lyrics,”

you then see the chords written on a separate line.

You can also select the color for the chords in the options dialog.
