How can i import a lyric from cubase

VST Live
1

Hi, i have a cubase project which includes Chrords, Lyrics, Markers, Midi and Audio tracks. when i export to media-project, i select all the tracks, which i want to have in VST Live, also the midi track with the lyrics. When i import the media file in VST Live, i have all tracks and the chords, but in lyrics appears the Marker-track and no lyrics. what do i wrong?

Hi @BlazingBlazer,

it sounds that you have two marker tracks running in your Cubase project. VST Live only converts one marker track to a lyric track. If you are exporting two marker tracks to VST Live, only the first one will be used and transferred to a lyric track.

See you,
Michael.

thank you for you fast answer. I’m a little confused. I thougt the lyrics from the score (notation) will be inserted? Do i have to write the lyrics via markers?
greetings, Andi

Cubase has no “Lyrics Track”. When exporting from Cubase, the first Marker Track is converted to Lyrics. Lyrics in Cubase Notation are a different module altogether.

… but we see your point. The lyrics of the Score-Editor are placed “additionally” to your MIDI Track Clip. As a workaround : You could export your MIDI-Clip and load it to your VST Live project. VST Live should then ask you to import the lyrics to a Lyric Track.
… meanwhile we will think how to add this missing link to the VST Live Export Component.

See you,
Michael.

I tried your workaround, but its not usable becouse vst makes a new line with every note.
as shown on the pics …

Good evening…
I export from Cubase like this, and it works great…

… yes, Thank you. That is one workflow. And great that is working for you. But @BlazingBlazer has a different “work-flow”. His lyrics are part of his MIDI file. And every word or syllable is one lyric events. That makes it complicated and not useable. You can see it in his screenshot. One solution would be to select all single lyric-events and glue it to one big lyric event. Another solution would to change the visuality of the Lyrics view to a horizontal one. In this screenshot the bar timeline 24.1 to 26.1 should be shown horzontally. We need to think about it a bit more. You are very welcome to discuss it with us :slight_smile:
