Producer/Duets

Written by DeusExMachina

Getting multiple font colours, though non-trivial, is one of the easier things. This is from memory. I could be remembering it wrong.

I am assuming you are getting your lyrics into Producer using KTP. I will use that for my pseudo tutorial After you import, the first thing you need to do is find where the Producer creates your pallets. In this two CD+G block set, there are usually only a few colours, since kJams is conservative as to the number used. So you need to make some more colours. Click in one of the colour boxes in the pallet list in the Inspector for the pallet block. Use the OSX colour selector to pick a new colour. (If you want different sweep colours, repeat this procedure on a separate colour box. Next find the first block of text whose colour you want to change. This should be on one of the "story board" screens that show the next full block of lyrics. Select all the text blocks that you want to change, and then drag a connector between the Text colour box in the element level section of the Inspector (bottom left) to the colour in the pallet you want the text to be. (If you chose an alternate sweep colour for your new text, drag a connector between the sweep colour and this new colour in the pallet.) Move to the next story board with text whose colour you wish to change and repeat. Takes about 5 minutes to go through a song and change the colours. You can use as many as you want. The standard appears to be blue for males (or part 1) pink for females (or part 2) and green for lyrics that are sung by both parts. I have done one with as many as six.
