Anyway... I could now see the lyrics, but there's something strange with it... It can be the problem of WinAmp, or something about Midi in general:
all the spaces are gone (ok... most of them) and everthing is on a single line... I went to the Mutopia project page to find out if this could be remedied with some exoting settings, but all the songs I checked had the same problem...
Is this a winamp problem or a midi problem, or are those spaces and newlines (even when I enter a hardcoded newline ^M) really gone? The funny thing is that when I use underscores (_) for spaces, the formatting in the midi file seems okayish, but then my paper is messed up... As I find paper more important that was the obvious choice I made of course...
Still thanks for pointing out to me what I was doing wrong...

The lyrics lines are included in the LilyPond MIDI output, but I guess it depends on the MIDI player you use. For example, I tried to run mf2t (http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/mf2t/) on the output from the melody-lyrics.ly template and it gives:

Quoting Michiel Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello all,
If I'm correct (which is always the question) one can add lyrics to a midi file so they can be showed during playback. Kind of like karaoke style... (if the player supports it of course)
when I write a song with lilypond including lyrics, and generate a midifile ou tof it, however, those lyrics do not appear... is that a special setting you need to add, or does lilypond not support this (yet)?
I'm running lilypond 2.2.0 and the song very globally looks like this:
<< \notes \new staff { a b c d } \lyricsto \new Lyrics=A \lyrics {a b c d} >> \paper {} \midi {}
Maybe this shortens my search for how to get this done...
TIA
Michiel
