I know this is technically off-topic, but it took me forever just to find that cdgtools exists, and I figured y'all would know the answer to this question.
Are there any tools for creating new CD+G under Linux? I guess I'd want a "text2cdg" to correspond to the existing "cdg2text", or something that converts MIDI files with lyrics into CD+G text, or…I don't know, a full-blown GUI editor? I'm trying to author my own karaoke tracks.
I found the cdg123 project here on SourceForge, but it doesn't appear to have been changed in 5 years.
Thanks in advance for any info!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It is not something that cdgtools supports today, but it is definitely something that I'd eventually like to have within the project.
The other potential option is a proprietary format one of the PyKaraoke users contacted me about recently. They were creating songs using a subtitle editor, and wrote a player module to plug in to PyKaraoke for playback. I haven't heard back from them regarding submitting it to the PyKaraoke project, however.
For the time being, however, I can only suggest using a Windows application under Wine or a VM.

Hi,

I found a project here on SourceForge called karlyriceditor, which purports to be a GUI editor. I'll look into it myself soon.
