The Lyric generator is such a great tool. It is a key part of my process of adding backing tracks.
Thank you!
Once I lay out the CLIPS (with the [ ] cords, in brackets), into a song, I would like to
duplicate the track in Ableton, and rename the new one to “singer”, and add (something like) a +NOCHORD flag. It would be such a time-saver…boom…instant aligned lyric track for the lead singer (who is distracted by the chord info…and if I ever allow the audience to see scrolling lyrics, this +NOCHORD flag would also be used).
This next part of the request probably will take some work (and it really is not all that important…but it never hurts to ask)…it would be cool if any track with a +NOCHORDS flag, if AS could, during playback, insert < spaces > wherever AS has pulled out [ chords ] . But of course an alternative is to enhance the Lyric Generator with a flag that would remove [chords] from the final output (so the Lyric Gen would create 2 files…one with [ chords ] and another without. Yet, if I had a choice, I would rather have a +NOCHORD flag.
tw there is even a 3rd aspect of this feature request…and that is a +CHORDONLY flag. (Actually someone put in a feature request for this). I have put no time into pondering HOW to display a meaningful alignment of cords (if there are no lyrics, what other context could there be?)
