To have the lyrics with the voice on the staff, the appropriate syllable could be printed immediately before or after the note on the same line or space. You could manage that by coding the lyrics as if they were fingering. I have never seen music printed that way, and I have high hopes that I never will see it. Instead, it is more appropriate to print each line of lyrics as if it were a voice, on what might be called a lyrics staff, the way it is done now. Couldn't it be simpler to do vertical spacing if the group of lyrics lines were considered a type of staff? Shouldn't the syllables have leading or trailing spaces in the midi file? Is this related to the problem of syllables sometimes being too close to bars? daveA -- The "information economy" is a fantasy. Information about what? The "global economy" is a myth. All economics is local. "Stateless terrorism" is a lie, to protect those who finance it. D.
