New Editor Features over the Original AMLL TTML Tool
Folder Projects — The opt-in desktop feature keeps lyrics and audio together in a project folder with a project.json manifest, recent projects, workspace scanning, project-wide Ctrl+S saving, and file tracking that survives renames made outside the app. Linked projects leave the TTML and audio where they are, and only an explicit save writes back to the original, after keeping a one-time backup.
Guided Beginner Workflow — Learn audio import, lyric review, timing, credits, export, and local testing through focused, state-aware steps using your own song; move the guide around the viewport or tuck it into a compact edge tab while working.
Compact Lyric Workspace — Use edge-to-edge audio and lyric areas, visually connected word and romanization groups, and compact whitespace chips sized by their space count, with an optional legacy label style.
Discord Rich Presence & PreMiD Bridge — The opt-in Tauri integration shares the current file or track, editor mode, line progress, playback state, and speed-aware timeline with Discord, preserves per-project elapsed time across app restarts, and exposes the same live state to PreMiD on the website while retaining a compatibility fallback for the original editor.
Combine Words Across Lyrics — Preview a word combination, apply it to matching sequences throughout the project, and optionally ignore case and surrounding punctuation.
Header-Free Timing Tools — Copy line and word timings onto existing lyrics or snap any selected timing block to the playhead without relying on imported Genius headers.
Remembered Desktop Window — Restore the previous window size, maximized state, and fullscreen state across desktop app launches without persisting its position or visibility.
Inline Time-Tab Editing — Double-click a synced word to edit it directly in Time mode, or edit per-word romanizations inline when displayed.
TTML Checklist — Maintain a persistent local queue of songs to sync with notes, progress tracking, and completed history.
Smarter Lyrics Splitting — Choose dedicated syllabification engines for English, Polish, Spanish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and CJK lyrics; Auto Segment suggests an engine from the lyric language, while legacy fallbacks remain available.
Learned Word Splits — Remember manual split boundaries and automatically reuse them for future occurrences of the same word.
Persistent Split Options — The Split Word dialog remembers its last-used options, reducing repeated setup while correcting multiple words.
Spicy Lyrics Preview — A high-fidelity Spicy Lyrics renderer with animated, custom, and cover-art backgrounds; karaoke, Simple Lyrics, and line-synced layouts; automatic scrolling; and an optional FPS counter.
Time Stretch — Scale every TTML timestamp to fit a new song duration, with support for reading durations from audio files.
Unified Lyrics Import — Choose Plain Text, LRCLIB, or Genius from clear cards in the empty editor, then use one consistent preparation, replacement-confirmation, and formatting workflow.
Genius sections & section tools — Preserve headers such as [Chorus] and [Verse] as color-coded section metadata, with whole-section timing controls.
Backup & Restore — Export and restore selected settings, keybindings, appearance assets, projects and history in a portable backup file.
Bouncy Word Indicator — Long-duration syllables in Sync mode get a subtle bouncing dot, making held words easier to spot while timing.
Toxi Lyrics Engine — High-fidelity jump-down animations, instant-on bloom with smooth fade-out, and adjustable wipe softness.
144Hz+ Rendering — A dedicated interpolation engine for ultra-high refresh rates that bypasses React bottlenecks.
Snap to Playhead — One-click synchronization that snaps lyric start times directly to the audio playhead position.
Auto-Lyric Sanitizer — Automatically strips Genius tags and cleans empty lines on import.
Automatic Multilingual Phonetics — Generate contextual Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean romanization with per-word readings, tone-aware Mandarin mapping, and mixed-language line support.
Pre-Export Validator — Checks for untimed or overlapping lyrics before saving.
