Feature Request: Assign users for lyrics just like documents

[Insider0203]

Hi Arlo,

In my band, we have multiple singers. We have two main lead vocalists but other members occasionally take lead vocals as well. We all use layouts with document viewers and have different documents assigned for different users. But for most songs, most users don't need to see any document and prefer to just see the placeholder song title instead.

Putting the lyrics in the main lyrics field makes the lyrics appear for all users by default and this can be distracting for users who don't want/need lyrics or want to see a different document

I know there are various work arounds for this. One is to set the default document per user. The other is to use the "personal lyrics" fields. The last is to hide the lyrics field all together for users who never need lyrics. However, all these have their quirks and tradeoffs.

I would prefer it if it was possible just to assign lyrics to users like you can with documents. There could still be a place for the personal lyrics fields as well if a user needs to see different text.

Handling lyrics like documents, with multiple sets of lyrics per song that are assignable to specific users, is on my wish list and I'll add a vote for you.

Meanwhile another option is to use a layout that doesn't show the document viewer by default (any layout with the Layering set to Document Viewer On Top). Then users who don't want to see the lyrics can use all that screen space where the lyrics are for something else. But they can still click the document button to see the lyrics if needed for a particular song.

Thanks for the response Arlo!
