Efficient Management of Song Lyrics: Copy and Paste Lyrics to Another Track Shifted in Time

[Gianluca_D]

Is it possible to copy the lyrics and paste them into another song?

I have various songs of different lengths because sometimes they have intros and sometimes they have outros, etc. Can I avoid having to redo the same lyrics for all the songs in some way?

It would be enough for me to paste them from the starting point of the track to have them perfectly in time.

I avoid using parts because there is a certain latency between them. So, on Cubase 13, I prepare the tracks I need, all of the same length, and paste them into VST Live.

VST Live Mods 1.1.61 is online

… select the TRACKS tab. Then select the Lyrics Track and right-click to show the Track context menu. Choose “Copy”. Now select the new Song and paste the track. … have you activated “Preload Tracks”? And “Always Preload”? Those option will preload all Plug-Ins. That might explain you latency between Parts. /Michael. PS : It’s better to start a new thread about (new) problems. Because mixing topics in one thread will not help us to get an overview about current problems or questions.

Ok, it works. Previously, it didn’t happen because by default the new song already had a lyrics track. However, it starts from the beginning. I would like it to start from where I position the transport bar.

… that’s because a complete was be pasted. I see the problem. You want to copy the lyrics-events and paste them at the Playhead position. Here we go.

1. Start a new Project, select the LYRICS tab and create the Lyrics Track
2. Add a Lyric-Event at pos 2.1 and another and pos 3.1
3. Use Ctrl+A to select all events
4. Create a new song and create a Lyrics Track
5. Position your Playhead and paste the (copied) events

Will that work for you?

Great! It works, thanks!

It would be perfect if it were possible to use Ctrl + left mouse click to select only certain parts. In fact, when I use Ctrl+A, it selects everything, and it would be optimal if I also had the possibility to deselect some text entries by pressing Ctrl + left mouse click.
