Ya I recognize that the automation was implemented with click track or backing track in mind but in my view, for what that may be worth, the mechanics of it have proven useful even without click or backing tracks. Of course what I am requesting may not work on every song as they are all different and there may be some anomalies in certain songs. But with the method I have developed now I could be off 7 - 10 seconds either way and all it will change is where on the page you are reading the lyrics. I have looked at a few songs in the automation edit and the time between markers is fairly consistent, maybe a variance of 2 to 4 seconds.
To be fair, based on how I am advancing lyrics now and how forgiving it is, it would take a bunch of things going wrong at once for me to even have to use the footswitch. I only made the request because the feature is already in the remote control and perhaps due to my ignorance in programming I thought it may not be that hard to patch that feature into automation so it could be used, or not, if needed. If it was going to be something labour intensive, I wouldn’t ask for the feature given the hope I have that I’ll never need it.
