Aren't most midi scores, including orchestra and band scores, on a single channel out of a possible 16? If it is possible to insert comments into a midi file, could lyrics be inserted as comments? That's probably all there is to making a .kar file, since timidity plays them and dumps the lyrics to the console quite well. ------------------------------------------------------------ Information is not knowledge.
