John S Swanson Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I am a long time user of CW back to the Sonar days. For live playing, I have been using Stage Traxx and Onsong for backing tracks, with a lead/lyric sheet that auto scrolls. I want to get away from Stage Traxx and do everything right out of CW. I am trying to work in Lyric view but its giving me fits; I essentially have double the lines (chords and slashes over the lyrics) so it gets out of wack as it moves through the song Is there a way to turn off the way that it tracks along with every beat and set it up to autoscroll? Or set up a command to page down at a specified time [pdf@01:34: p2] ? Or maybe a plugin that can accommodate this? Any help is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 You can use MNotepad from Melda Production - it's part of their free plugin collection: 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Swanson Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 I'll give it a try. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Monkey Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Cakewalk Next has Lyrics view. Personally for playback of backing tracks I make videos. Videos will playback on just about any device. I use an older Laptop and we have a second monitor on a stand for my partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Swanson Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 I heard there was a new Lyrics feature in Next. I haven't upgraded yet but will keep that in mind for the feature. The MNote Pad that Mcleod suggested is working very well for me. Love how you can jump around from section to section. There is a learning curve getting it dialed in though. If anyone wants to try it, I highly suggest following the excellent tutorial he posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) i use Musescore to create chord and lyrics notation, or simply use Notepad++ for lyrics and general song info. archive the Musescore into musicxml file (just in case) as well as print to PDF. it can also play and depending on the level of detail, provide the melody etc. import / export MIDI.
