General Discussion / pause, and verse start
Here is my problem: I'm writing ballads and I'm not a strong singer. I can make the song in my head come out of the computer, but not out of my mouth.
What I would find really helpful would be two simple features:* A Pause button, so that I can restart exactly from where I paused. (This would be a big help when I'm rehearsing by myself.)
* Some way to start on a particular verse. If I'm trying to fix how the seventh verse scans by seeing how each syllable highlights as it plays, I don't want to have to listen to the first six verses again to get to the part I'm trying to fix. Something like an Alt-F5 that asked me what verse I wanted to play would be great.
I also suppose it might be nice if the system breaks actually created a new line, so the thing could scroll down as it plays, not just scrolling off the right edge, i.e. so that what was on the screen looked like printed sheet music. But I don't know how complicated that would be to program and it's not critical.
And the feature I really, really like: Being able to set a delay on breath marks. I was getting light-headed trying to keep up until I figured that one out.
