I put the [scroll] attribute on a lyric image track with sheet music just to try it out. It did make the image full screen but the behavior still acted the same where it jumped to the next image when it got to it. Do you happen to have a demo of how this should work with images? Or is there something I’m possibly missing. I tried the image files with and without the [full] attribute

Hey @iamderkis,

That sounds like a bug, I managed to reproduce it on my end. I’ll include a fix in the next beta. In the meantime, you can try adding the [scroll] attribute to image clips as a workaround. Here’s a video of what that looks like on my end:

Jumping from a [scroll] image to a normal one is still a bit glitchy, but it should still properly scroll along with the clip.

Ok great. I assumed that’s what it was supposed to do. That will be a game changer for sure!

One issue I’ve noticed with the new Beta, which may be unique to my situation, is that with the new beta, The TextFit library stops updating as the song goes on. If I refresh the “browser” in OBS it will make the text get larger to fit the window but as the song progresses on, it reverts back. It appears to work correctly on 2.7. The original post I made that led to the TextFit library being used is linked below:

As always, thank you so much for all your help.


I tried removing and adding the [allsongs] tag to the lyrics and also tried restarting Ableton and OBS.

I have only tested this so far on 2.8.0-beta.8 and beta.9 so I’m not sure yet if it started before those. I didn’t download the beta until it was in beta.8 but I can try the other versions to see if maybe it started with a particular one.
