Monitoring Lyrics & Playback

Monitoring Lyrics (Karaoke!)

If your song contains lyrics (all .KAR files should, and many .MID files contain them as well) then Karaoke Sing-n-Burn has the ability to read these lyrics and display them in the Lyrics Window located at the top of the Karaoke Sing-n-Burn screen:

While your song is playing back, Karaoke Sing-n-Burn will scroll the lyrics and highlight whichever words match the music at that particular time. All you have to do is follow along and belt out those high notes!

Font and Color Options
Karaoke Sing-n-Burn gives you the ability to change the font face, font color, font size, and background color used in the Lyrics Window. To do so, select "Font..." from the Lyrics menu, or click the small "A" button at the top of the Lyrics Window. (You can also click the "+" or "-" magnifying buttons at the top of the Lyrics Window as a quick shortcut for making the font larger or smaller.)

Similarly, you can change the background color by selecting "Background Color..." from the Lyric Box menu or by clicking on the Paint Bucket button at the top of the Lyrics Window.

Experiment with different fonts and background colors to see which you like best!

Lyrics Window Size
Want to be able to read the lyrics from a little farther away? You can expand the Lyrics Window to medium or large size. From the Lyrics menu, choose "Maximize" for a medium size, or "Full Screen" to have the Lyrics Window fill your screen. These options also have corresponding shortcut buttons at the top right of the Lyrics Window. We recommend size 72 lyrics on a full screen Lyrics Window for the best visibility during karaoke parties!
