Overview
The Lyrics panel decides how fetched lyrics are presented. Lyrics from LRCLIB come in two flavors: synced (with timestamps) and pseudo (without). The active state is shown as a SYNCED or PSEUDO badge. Animation modes include Auto plus nine distinct typographic styles, each with its own visual character.
Each mode owns its own parameter set, so Auto mode only exposes the shared baseSize (font size), while selecting a specific mode adds its mode-specific parameters. baseSize itself has both an Auto switch (size derived from output size and lyric length) and a Manual mode (fixed value, 12 to 240). When lyrics are active, the panel always shows a 3-line monitor, jump buttons, and an offset stepper.
Control Reference
- Lyric detection switch (label ON)
Enables lyric fetching. When off, the rest of the panel dims and stops accepting input. Stored values are preserved.
- Status badge (when active)
Displays the current lyric state.
SYNCEDis timestamped synchronous lyrics;PSEUDOis time-less pseudo lyrics.- Not Found warning
Shown when detection is on and a track is recognized but no lyric match was returned.
- Stop button (when active)
Immediately stops lyric rendering. Audio playback continues.
- Lyric monitor (when active)
Three-line preview of the previous, current, and next lines. The current line is highlighted. Long lines are truncated.
- Prev / Next jump buttons (left and right of monitor)
Step one line backward or forward. Useful for correcting LRC drift by hand.
- Offset control group (when active)
Adjusts the lyric display timing.
«button: −1000 ms.‹button: −100 ms.- Center value: current offset (for example
-0.4s). ›button: +100 ms.»button: +1000 ms.
- Mode buttons
Switch the lyric animation mode.
Auto: picks a mode from the song's characteristics.Shatter: default drift / explode style.Flood: large background text plus foreground line.Liquid: per-character wave motion.VHS: RGB shift plus scanlines.Slicing: clip-path-based fracturing.Trace: motion-path trail, supports vertical writing.Morph: weight / stretch warping.Mosaic: mosaic tile decomposition.Stack: stacked layer rendering.
- baseSize control (exposed even in Auto mode, shared parameter)
- Auto switch: when on, size is derived from the output dimensions automatically.
- Manual slider (visible when Auto is off, 12–240, step 2): explicit pixel size.
- Per-mode parameter sliders (modes other than Auto)
Each mode declares its own min / max / step values. Examples: Shatter exposes drift intensity, Liquid exposes wave cycle, Tape exposes scanline thickness. Defaults are tuned from field testing.
- Collapse arrow
Minimizes the panel.
When To Use It
In busy scenes, align size and timing first, then change animation style after the text is already readable. Synced lyrics let modes show off; pseudo lyrics often look better with calmer modes such as Stack or Morph because the lack of timing is less obvious. While MV is active, dramatic modes can fight the video, so defaulting to Auto or Stack keeps the section coherent.
