I am just going thru some my favourite operas to add lyrics.

The tiny edit-box does'nt make that a particularly easy job as I often have to enter more than just a 4-line-verse. 😇

Would it be possible to enlarge the edit-box for editing Lyrics? May be there is something like this already and I just dont find it?

Many thanks

It's resizable! 😃 You can grab at the lower right/left corner and resize it to a comfortable size.

Embarrassing,... thanks that helps. 😊

Is there a way to navigate from one track to the next with that lyrics box staying open? That would ease things up considerably as well.

Unfortunately not, but I understand the suggestion and how it would improve navigation.

If you could take that suggestion up a for a future version, would be much appreciated.

I now need to to paste lyrics for each track into the lyrics box \>\> save and close the lyrics box \>\> close the extended tag box \>\> move to the next track, repeat the entire procedure 40 to 60 times for all tracks of the opera.... 😬

If it's only for pasting the lyrics, you could also add this as a field to the Tag Panel via _Preferences → Tag Panel_ and `UNSYNCEDLYRICS` (it will be single-line, though) and use ⌥⌘ ↓ to save and navigate to the next file without loosing focus.

Most of time pasting is only the first step, I then need to edit the pasted text, correct line breaks, etc. etc....

I actually had the LYRICS tag in the Panel and noticed I could only ever edit the first line, so I took it off again and use the track browser

Having multi-line fields for the Tag Panel is also on my loooong list 😃

Why not edit them in a document editor first, then copy/paste into mp3tag?
