Lyrics
|
|
</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
MIDI files can include song lyrics. And some MIDI players or
|
|
sequencers can display them as a file is played. Some, but not all.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
I'm not aware of any keyboards which display lyrics; and most Linux
|
|
based players do not display them. Exceptions to the rule are the
|
|
programs <SPAN CLASS="textit">Kmid</SPAN> which displays and highlights lyrics almost in a
|
|
Karaoke manner, <SPAN CLASS="textit">xplaymidi</SPAN> and <SPAN CLASS="textit">timidity</SPAN> which display the
|
|
lyrics in a secondary panel.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
With this qualifier out of the way, there really is no reason for
|
|
lyrics NOT to be useful in a program like
|
|
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> . Singers do not want
|
|
a melody playing while they are vocalizing (really, they are no
|
|
different in this than any other instrumentalist). And some
|
|
platforms<A NAME="tex2html36"
|
|
HREF="#foot3690"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">9</SPAN>.<SPAN CLASS="arabic">1</SPAN></SUP></A> other than Linux support lyric display in a more
|
|
useful format.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The ``Standard MIDI File'' document describes a <SPAN CLASS="textit">Lyric</SPAN> Meta-event:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN CLASS="textbf">FF 05 len text <SPAN CLASS="textit">Lyric</SPAN>.</SPAN> A lyric to be sung.
|
|
Generally, each syllable will be a separate lyric event which begins
|
|
at the event's time.<A NAME="tex2html37"
|
|
HREF="#foot3694"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">9</SPAN>.<SPAN CLASS="arabic">2</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).
|
|
|

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:

It is possible to have

The mode is enabled with ``On'' or ``1'' and disabled with ``Off'' or

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> 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 ``SPMamp;''.

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

Adding a lyric to your song is a simple matter ...and like so many

things, there is more than one way to do it.

Lyrics can be set for a bar in-between a pair of <SPAN CLASS="textbf">[]</SPAN>s
|
|
somewhere in a data bar.<A NAME="tex2html40"

HREF="#foot3726"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">9</SPAN>.<SPAN CLASS="arabic">4</SPAN></SUP></A> For

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

</td></tr>

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>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Lyric Set Hello Young Lovers </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Unlike the other L<SMALL>YRIC</SMALL> options, the S<SMALL>ET</SMALL> option must be
|
|
the last one on a line, and it does not use the ``='' sign. If you are
|
|
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>:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
value 0x0A). A <SPAN CLASS="textbf"> \n</SPAN> should appear at the end of each
|

verse or paragraph.

<P>

</LI>

</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>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<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.
|
|
In most cases this is probably not what you want.
|
|

|
|
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 ``<SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
WIDTH="33" HEIGHT="33" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
|
|
SRC="img2.png"
|
|
ALT="$< >$"></SPAN>''
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|

|
|
<B>z z z C [ <4>Hello ]

|
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.
|
|
|

Note: there must not be a space inside the ``<SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
