Got an odd bug, not sure if this is in LrcDB or in the SYLT plugin or where I should be reporting this (not sure if you want bugs for those apps in this thread or not), but...
I have a song (Glory of the 80's by Tori Amos) that plays fine and looks right when played in emphatic.
I opened the song in the SYLT plugin and hit "Submit to LRCDB". It worked, but some lines are missing when I view the song on LRCDB. I re-open the file in the SYLT plugin and notice that those lines don't have a timestamp in front of them. Odd, I was sure I tagged this lyric right back in the old days with the old LyrIE plugin.
In fact, the missing lines appear exactly on cue when I play the song on the car player, as if they have proper timestamps on them. But something about the parser in the SYLT plugin makes the timestamp disappear from the lines when I open the song.
There were a lot of single and double quotes in the song, does quote parsing have anything to do with it?
It looked like this when I opened it in the SYLT plugin (bolded line is an example of a missing one):
[00:32.000]
[00:34.000]I had the Story of O in my bucket seat,
[00:38.000]in my wanna be Mustang,
[00:40.000]auditioning for reptiles in their
[00:44.000]Raquel Welch campaign.
[00:46.000]In the glories of the 80's you said
[00:49.000]"I'm not afraid to die",
[00:51.000]I said, "I don't find that remotely funny,
even on this space cake high."
[00:55.000]
[00:57.000]And then when it all seemed clear,
[01:03.000]just then you go and disappear.
[01:08.000]Disappear
[01:12.000]Disappear
In fact, the more I look at it, the more I think it's got something to do with quote parsing, because another missing line has a similar arrangement of quotes:
[01:28.000]in the glories of the 80's you said,
[01:31.000]"the end is nothing to fear".
[01:34.000]I said, "blow the end now baby
who do I gotta shag, to get outta here?"
[01:36.000]
[01:40.000]And then when it all seemed clear,
[01:45.000]just then you go and disappear.
Let me see if any of the other songs that might have quotes arranged the same way are like that. I can think of at least a few I submitted tonight which possibly might have the same problem...
Ah, nope. I'll bet it has to do with tagging blank lines (so the instrumental areas scroll properly) and leaving blank lines in the lyric:
[00:41.000]"Time to race," she said,
[00:46.000]"race the downhill."
[00:52.000]Behind crystalline irises, loons can dive
Where the world bleeds white
[01:01.000]
[01:06.000]Just keep your eyes on her
Great, so now I just submitted about 18 songs to LrcDB today and I'll bet most of them had this problem. Argh...
