Lyric view scrolls from right to left

Leo or Ableset community.

is it possible for a lyric track to scroll from the right to the left instead of bottom to top?

the” text” in my case is a custom chord track so the width of the text is only a few characters. My hope is to see chords ahead but in the same way I would read a chord chart. I place the changes in ableton as actual beat lengths each chord has its own region then just add bar lines manually on beat one chords. Example

| G Am | C | G7 | D | (Chorus) etc…

I am guessing it could show about 4 to 8 chord ahead.

I know there are some display codes from other request so I was not sure if something like this already is possible.

Thanks for all you put into Ableset Leo.

Hey @Mattwalker7362514,

To align all lines next to each other instead of vertically, you can use the following custom styles:

.lyrics > div {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  overflow-x: auto;
  scroll-snap-type: none;
}

.lyrics .line {
  flex-shrink: 0;
}

The only issue currently is that the current line will be aligned all the way to the right, so you won’t be able to read ahead. I’ll release a new beta soon that will align lines in the center instead.

I hope this helps!

Hey @Mattwalker7362514,

I just released a new beta that horizontally aligns lyrics clips in the center, so you can now see upcoming chords as well.

You can download it here: AbleSet 2.8.0-beta.8
