Enter and move lyrics and chords more easily

Could it somehow be possible to make it easier to enter lyrics and chords?

You can often find chord sheets like this on the Internet:
Em
It’s my life
C
It’s now or never
G D
I ain’t gonna live forever

Wouldn’t it somehow be possible to insert these into VST Live once via copy & paste and VST Live would recognize the chords and song lines and create the chords and lyrics independently for each line in VST Live and you would only have to move them to the right place later?

In this context, I would like VST Live to create a separate text section in the lyrics for each new song line. VST Live could also try to add the chords in the right places (when inserting them).
I think it would be good if you could select several chords at the same time (or just individually) and then move them together to other positions in a simple way. The same for the lyrics…

In the Tracks view, this already works for chords in some cases - but strangely enough, it sometimes doesn’t work if you try to move individual chords (I’m not sure why this doesn’t always work)

I would then also like to display lyrics and chords together:

That’s good news! Can’t wait to see what’s going on here…

Curious whether there will soon be an update for entering the lyrics and chords…
Am still waiting for something like this, that lets me easily drag and drop complete and already done lyrics and chords to VST Live and at least kind of inserts the lyrics and chords on the right positions (not everything in one line, but do line breaks as in the notepad file for example so that the only thing I still need to do is drag the chords and lyrics to the right time signatures in VST Live after they got imported)

I suggested something like this in September 2024.

Any News on this?

We are full, sorry. We did implement LRC import though.
