[Rosegarden-user] Karaoke - feature request

[<jrs...@gm...>]

Hi,
have you ever thought about using Rosegarden as an editor for Karaoke files=
?=20
Well, I did, and had success - sort of.=20
Karaoke lyrics are represented in MIDI files as text events. Rosegarden can=
=20
read such files, edit the text events and export them back.
But there are some shortcomings to make Rosegarde a real Karaoke file edito=
r:
=2D Between words, you need to add blanks - but blanks are used as delimite=
rs by=20
Rosegarden, so your only chance is to add them in the event editor.
=2D To include line feeds, KMid expects a \n or \l (0xA or 0xD), which cann=
ot be=20
input in the event editor (and is ignored during import). I was able to pat=
ch=20
KMid to accept "\" as a new line indicator, but that's not a real good=20
solution.

Being the first and only Karaoke editor under Linux - wouldn't that add  ev=
en=20
more glory to the developer's fame?
