Er... Not sure what you mean by a simulation.


Just this:

<line attr="$(artist): '$(title)' [$(source), $(year)]" font="medium" color="bright" bgcolor="dim" x="1" y="1" width="128" height="9" transient="true" speed="100" pause="2" origin="top" show="withoutlyrics"/>

Just like we were discussing in IM. Acts the same as transient, but isn't really transient. The problem is that, in the current emphatic, the blank bar hangs around even after the transient text is done scrolling.

I was just going to allow a specific player info mode to be chosen with each emphatic custom display mode, which you could choose to write on top of with a vertical lyrics display or whatever.


That would also be very cool.

The end-result would be similar: You get transient data when there's no lyrics.

I like the first option better, though, because it lets me spec additional data points to go into the scrolling bar (source and year in my case).
