Export lyric/chord meta events to MIDI
Hello,
I was wondering if this feature could be added?
MuseScore reads lyric meta events and even Yamaha XFChord events from midi files without problems, but it does not save these events if the file is then exported to MIDI....
Thank you!
P.S.
Here is some info I picked up from the Qmidi help section about how chord events are used (I hope there are no copyright issues....):
Text meta events with the "%" prefix are used to store chords using the standard notation format where the first letter is the chord name (capitals letters A-G) , the second is the alteration (#, b or blank), followed by the chord description.
Example:
FF 01 len "%D#/F"
FF 01 len "%B m7" <-- recommended blank space if no prefix (QMidi will check this!)
FF 01 len "%Gbsus4"

There is a long standing issue for lyrics export to MIDI #6639: Export lyrics in .kar MIDI format
The main problem is how to handle repeats and multiple stanzas. Also how to support line breaks.
