There needs to be at least two text lanes. The problem is adding chords and lyrics inside a DAW because the DAWs have not been modified to accommodate lyrics AND chord lanes. Why are DAW's terrible for writing lyrics? Because they have terrible text interfaces into the midi stream. Whether you start with chords first, or melody first, or lyrics first, fitting them together is usually not best done inside a DAW.' Comment: At best, you might use a DAW to loop a section of music, while you try to write the lyrics, but it’s not too good at supporting this lyric to music fitting process. Excerpt 'Very few DAWs (if any) help you write lyrics to chord sequences, or make lyrics fit into the rhythm of your track. Why a DAW Might Not Be the Best Song Writing Tool This person has hit on the problem I am outlining here in this thread. Cakewalk fixed that problem, yay! Now this problem needs addressing to bring the text integration into Sonar music up to the current state of the art. It would take me days to map out the song on paper way back in cakewalk for DOS. This kind of thing taxes even the most musically minded. That meant knowing where every nuance of cymbal crash and drum rolls occurred beforehand, they had to be programmed in before any of the other instrument tracks could be recorded. Because I only had 8 tracks on my reel to reel, the drum tracks had to be done prior to recording any other tracks and recorded onto tape first.

I might ask have you programmers even tried to use lyric view? I used to work with FSK and SMPTE time code long ago. They don't mind me putting in the markers but working in lyric view they and I find too time consuming and try and edit a lyric change and the whole hierarchy crumbles. Something about seeing the project files along with the markers bypasses their natural rhythm delay. (No it is not high latency it is bad rhythm.) One weird oddity is if they can see the markers they sing them in time along with the creation of their wave file during recording. I try to get them to think ahead as all good musicians do but this is of no avail usually. I have one client who has a terrible sense of rhythm, their voice quality is nice and they sing the lines right except they are always late in delivering them. It takes me hours to even attempt to put lyrics into lyric view and usually I give up at my own embarrassment of my clients who put up a stink as to the time it consumes. I love the other features but text integration is a ground level necessity, really. It can be done but consider priorities, lyrics and chords should be a no brainier with music. Using lyrics view is worse than deleting my lyrics markers and replacing them with chord markers back and forth. Having to associate every syllable with a midi event is so difficult and old school. Forget one hyphen and try and add it after the fact and you have to start all over again. Lyric view is VERY buggy, crashes if you try and edit it, it is basically unusable. Think about it, wouldn't it be nice to have your chords and lyrics always readily visible in your songs too? I am faced with this dilemma nearly every time I make a song.

Please help vote this idea up peeps, two or more marker lanes would be handy for marking song changes and finding your place. Lyric and chord markers let me know exactly where I am in the song and what exact chords are playing. Please work on this, thanks! Lyric view is just not the same thing, the ruler gives me direct correspondence to various tracks. If I could just add a second marker/ruler lane above it my problems would be solved. If I need the words again I have to erase the chord markers and put the lyric markers in again. Then when I need them for chords I have to erase them all and put markers in for chords. If I use the markers for lyrics each marker is a small phrase. But I cannot use them for both or they overlap and become unreadable. I use the markers to put lyrics in But I also use them for chords.
