Lyrics

</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
MIDI files can include song lyrics and some (certainly not all) MIDI
|
|
file players and/or sequencers can display them as a file is
|
|
played. This includes newer “arranger” keyboards and many software
|
|
players. Check your manuals.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The “Standard MIDI File” document describes a <SPAN CLASS="textit">Lyric</SPAN>
|
|
Meta-event:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<SPAN CLASS="textbf">FF 05 len text <SPAN CLASS="textit">Lyric</SPAN>.</SPAN> A
|
|
lyric to be sung. Generally, each syllable will will be a separate
|
|
lyric event which begins at the event's time.<A NAME="tex2html38"
|
|
HREF="#foot4127"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">9</SPAN>.<SPAN CLASS="arabic">1</SPAN></SUP></A></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Unfortunately, not all players and creators follow the
|
|
specification--the most notable exception are “.kar” files. These
|
|
files eschew the <SPAN CLASS="textit">Lyric</SPAN> event and place their lyrics as a
|
|
<SPAN CLASS="textit">Text Event</SPAN>. There are programs strewn on the net which convert
|
|
between the two formats (but I really don't know if conversion is
|
|
needed).
|
|
|
|

</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
As noted above, Karaoke or .kar files use a slightly different MIDI
|
|
format for their lyrics.
|
|
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> supports kar file creation with this
|
|
mode:
|

<P>
|
|
When this mode is entered the following changes are made:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>The extension used for the MIDI file name is changed from .mid
|
|
to .kar (if you have specified an output file name on the command
|
|
line this is not done).
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>Some meta track information is changed to make it compatible
|
|
with the kar useage.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>The word splitting algorithm is modified. In kar mode hyphens (“-”)
|
|
are used to indicate syllable breaks and are removed from the
|
|
input. You can force a hyphen into your lyrics by using the notation
|
|
“\-”.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|

</UL>
|

You can turn the mode off with:

generating proper lyric breaks.

<P>
|
|
Another option controlled by the L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL> command is to determine
|
|
the method used to split words. As mentioned earlier (and in various
|
|
MIDI documents), the lyrics should be split into syllables.
|
|
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> does
|
|
this by taking each word (anything with white space surrounding it)
|
|
and setting a MIDI event for that. However, depending on your player,
|
|
you might want only one event per bar. You might even want to put the
|
|
lyrics for several bars into one event. In this case simply set the
|
|
“bar at a time” flag:
|
|

The mode is enabled with “On” or “1” and disabled with “Off” or

“0”.
|

<P>
|
|
After the chords are extracted they are treated exactly like a verse
|
|
you have entered as to word splitting, etc. Note that the special
|
|
chord “z” is converted to “N.C.” and directives after the “z” in
|
|
constructs like “C7zCS” will appear with only the chord name.

<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> to transpose the chord

<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> isn't too smart in it's transposition and will often display the
|
|
“wrong” chord names in relation to “sharp” and “flat” names. If
|
|
you find that you are getting too many “wrong” names, try setting
|
|
the CN<SMALL>AMES</SMALL> option to either “Sharp” or “Flat”. Another
|
|
example:

By default, the “flat” setting is used. In addition to “Flat” and

“Sharp” you can use the abbreviations “#”, “b” and “&”.

You can (and may well need to) change the CN<SMALL>AMES</SMALL> setting

The alternate method is to use the L<SMALL>YRIC </SMALL>S<SMALL>ET</SMALL> directive:
|
|
|

<P>
|

|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>

<B>Lyric Set Hello Young Lovers </B>
|

|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The S<SMALL>ET</SMALL> option can be anywhere in a L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL> line. The only
|
|
restriction is that no “=” signs are permitted in the lyric. When
|
|
setting the lyric for a single verse the <SPAN CLASS="textbf">[]</SPAN>s are optional;
|
|
however, for multiple verses they are used (just like they are when
|
|
you include the lyric in a data/chord line). The advantage to using
|
|
L<SMALL>YRIC </SMALL>S<SMALL>ET</SMALL> is that you can specify multiple bars of lyrics at
|
|
one point in your file. See the sample file <TT><SPAN CLASS="textbf">egs/lyrics.mma</SPAN></TT> for
|
|
an example.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The lyrics for each bar are separated into individual events, one for
|
|
each word ... unless the option S<SMALL>PLIT=</SMALL>B<SMALL>AR</SMALL> has been used, in
|
|
which case the entire lyric is placed at the offset corresponding to
|
|
the start of the bar.
|
|

<P>
|
|
|
|
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> recognizes two special characters in a L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL>:

|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>A <SPAN CLASS="textbf"> \r</SPAN> is converted into an EOL character (hex
|
|
value 0x0D). A <SPAN CLASS="textbf"> \r</SPAN> should appear at the end of each
|
|
lyrical line.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>A <SPAN CLASS="textbf"> \n</SPAN> is converted into a LF character (hex
|

</UL>
|

|
|
<P>
|
|
When a multi-verse section is created using a R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL> or
|
|
G<SMALL>OTO</SMALL>, different lyrics can be specified for different passes.
|
|
In this case you simply specify two more sets of lyrics:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>A / Am / [First verse] [Second Verse] </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
However, for this work properly you must set the internal counter
|
|
L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL>V<SMALL>ERSE</SMALL> for any verse other than 1. This counter is set with
|
|
the command:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Lyric Verse=Value | INC | DEC </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
This means that you can directly set the value (the default value is
|
|
1) with a command like:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|

|
<B>Lyric Verse=2 </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
And you can increment or decrement the value with the INC and
|
|
DEC options. This is handy at to use in repeat sections:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Lyric Verse=Inc </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
You cannot set the value to a value less than 1.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
There are a couple of special cases:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>If there is only one set of lyrics in a line, it will be treated
|
|
as text for verse 1, regardless of the value of L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL>V<SMALL>ERSE</SMALL>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>If the value of L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL>V<SMALL>ERSE</SMALL> is greater than the number of

|
verses found after splitting the line, then no lyrics are produced.
|

At times you may wish to override
|
|
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> 's method of determining the
|
|
beat offsets for a lyric or a single syllable in a lyric. You can
|
|
specify the beat in the bar by enclosing the value in “<
|
|
>” brackets. For example, suppose that your song starts
|
|
with a pickup bar and you'd like the lyrics for the first bar to start
|
|
on beat 4:

|
F [ Young lovers ] </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Assuming <SPAN CLASS="textbf">4/4</SPAN> the above would put the word “Hello” at beat
|
|
4 of the first bar; “Young” on the first beat of bar 2; and
|
|
“lovers” on beat 3 of bar 2.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note: there must not be a space inside the “<
|
|
>”, nor can there be a space between the bracket and the
|
|
syllable it applies to.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Only the first “< >” is checked. So, if you
|
|
really want to have the characters “<” or ">” in
|
|
a lyric just include a dummy to keep
