Any new news on the project? Bugfixes, lyrics storage, or otherwise?

Yes. The news is that the author is approximately 5 weeks away from completing his Masters degree, and is thus spending all of his available time completing his final project.

Stay tuned, though. Come May I have BIG plans for this. I'll try to squeeze out those bugs in horizontal mode, and I have several cool features planned. I also want to work closely with Mike Schrag (when he has some free time as well) to get LRC embedding into jEmplode, and eventually, submission to LRCdb.com (when that gets off the ground.) Of course, the weather starts getting nicer around that time, but since I won't be in school, I do anticipate having a lot more time to work on this.
