The Lyric Editor aims to be a full featured editor for the on-line collaboration of music lyrics.  It's main goal is to replace the typcial "file save" routine with a database backend.   Each lyric is broken down into the lines which are either a verse, chorus, bridge or out.  Each line can have multipul versions, each version tied to the author who wrote it.  The lyric has an author as well which has final say over the final version.

The best way to think about this project is to imagine instant messaging, word processing and version manegment combined togather.

The current features:

  • Create-A-Lyric

  • FreeForm Lyric Editor

  • Hook Editor

  • Invite an Author

  • Generate PDF

  • Soon To Come Features

  • The current release, LyricEditor.00002 is a major rewrite. From the original monolithic Flash file seperate modules have been created and external ActionScript files have been created. The tarball is here lyrics.00002.tgz.

    The first tarball released is here lyrics.00001.tgz. It has a Flash file and the perl modules that make it work. It is one monolythic Flash file and quite frankly is rotten but it was a start.

    The sister project to The Lyric Editor is the The Script Editor. It is all part of the "No File To Save" project.

    This project is writen in Flash and perl and uses the FLAP module for connectivity.
