Lyrics Tag Guide

Modify the Lyrics (not synchronized) too, I guess.

I’m sorry if I’ve overlooked something, but as far as I understand, in Roon, synchronized lyrics refer to the “LYRICS” tag with timecodes.
I’m not sure how to make synchronized and unsynchronized lyrics coexist within the same track.
Is there a way to include both types of lyrics for a single song in Roon?

I don’t know. I think I vaguely remember the same issue discussed earlier but can’t find a thread right-away on the forum. The issue your facing is that Roon has timed and normal lyrics but you only overwrote the timed lyrics – so the normal lyrics stay the same old (wrong) ones.
You could check if Roon has another set of metadata that doesn’t suffer from the wrong lyrics or report the case in Support > Metadata for general correction.

Thank you for your guide.

Regarding the fine-tuning for matching timecode lyrics, I have a suggestion hopefully reducing the workload a bit.

Instead of redoing the matching on LRC, a rough match (usually of 2s-wide window of error) is sufficient for the subsequent dove-tailing.

Have the lrc file pasted to your tag editor of choice (in the “lyrics” field), initiate the song’s lyrics UI on Roon, and change the value of the lrc’s timestamp in the editor to satisfaction.

Not only is the granularity easier to achieve (thanks to the higher mistake tolerance, patience considered), the flexibility of having additional lines (e.g. translation, in my case) after having generated the lrc file is most welcome.

A sample video and an image of the result is provided; please excuse my laptop’s horrible mic quality (given system sound recording on MacOS is not readily installed).

Please follow-up with replies about any possible confusion that I may have committed.
