Write or open lyrics in **Lyrics Editor**\r\n2. Select a word\r\n3. Use **Set Word Timing...**\r\n4. Enter `StartQn` and optional `EndQn`\r\n5. Review timings in the timing grid\r\n6. Export to Cubase\r\n7. Open Cubase and insert **LyricsMonitor**\r\n8. Start playback and watch the active word update\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Timing Format\r\n\r\nThe editor uses **quarter note positions** (`Qn`) for timing.\r\n\r\nExamples:\r\n\r\n- `1.0` = beat 1\r\n- `1.5` = halfway between beat 1 and 2\r\n- `2.0` = beat 2\r\n\r\nThis allows the lyrics to follow tempo and transport position in Cubase.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Exported Files\r\n\r\nExport creates files in:\r\n\r\n```text\r\nDocuments\\LyricsMonitor<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lyrics Editor Beta is a lightweight lyric-writing editor made for songwriters.
