Lyrics window more functionality

[xeo]

I wanted to know if the Lyrics window can be expanded with more functionality:

- ability to easy create/add timestamps (that would appear as text in tag editor/lyrics)
The Lyrics editor window could be placed in Advanced Tag Editor just like Chapters editor and be functionally similar to it.
- custom size, bold, color, alignment, font(?) for current line/already played lines/next lines
- add an option to enable/disable synchronization (highlighting the current line + autoscrolling)
- add an ability to add simple spacing between lines so it will be visible in lyrics window
- custom background colors/cover
- ability to rewind the song to a given line/timestamp (lines as clickable links, like in spotify)
- visually showing the time interval between lines (so you know when a given line will be sung), don't know how to do it yet
- additional elements in the window such as track navigation wave (under the text), cover, visualizations in the background, some basic track info (custom on/off elements)
These elements would appear/hide depending on the window size change (including maximization) or would be scaled. Customization would be available regardless of skin (same settings for each skin).
Lyrics window settings would be set through Preferences/Player/Additional Information/Lyrics and by right click on the Lyrics window.

add support for synchronization of text with the song (based on e.g. timestamps - editable in tag editor) + automatic scrolling to the current line
- highlighting the current line (enlargement, bold, color)

Its already implemented

Where? Does it depend on skin?

[Artem]

Default skin has this ability

Where? I can't even find there a lyrics window.

Main Menu \ Information Box

Information Box doesn't have the lyrics (so there is no lines).

It's not working for me.



Also, I don't know what this button at the bottom is, but it's not visible for me and it can't be clicked.

Lyrics must be marked by timestamps.

Also, I don't know what this button at the bottom is, but it's not visible for me and it can't be clicked.

It provides an ability to switch between comments and lyrics

Ok, I edited the first post to serve more as suggestions for new features.

Glad you finally found the lyrics window!

I have no interest in "synced" lyrics and if any manipulation there is to be added it should be outside what is and should remain the display window.  For example, the Advanced Tag Editor.

What I WOULD like to see is the option to tell the lyrics search function to continue on past a first match, in case another one is present that the use may prefer. The MusicBee LyricsReloaded plugin has a "Search Next provider" choice in the context menu that does this.

Also, a repository on the forum or the website where coders may post their own search scripts for new lyrics sources, or modifications to existing ones, that may be added to the aimp_webLyrics.ini file.

For me, lyrics synchronization is the first and basic function of the lyrics window that displays it for this purpose. Besides, an option to enable/disable synchronization can be added.
I also think that the settings should be outside and should be placed in an already existing place, i.e. Preferences window https://i.imgur.com/YLMOPY2.png

It's a matter of adding a plugin function, but perhaps the webLyrics plugin could be integrated in the Lyrics settings (i.e. it would no longer be a plugin but AIMP function), especially since it is very small and the cover download function is not a plugin but is integrated.

Is there a way to add spacing between lines in tag editor/lyrics so it will be visible in lyrics window?

[Artem]

AIMP has no ability to do that now
