Has anyone messed with synced lyrics before for music? :soft_thinking: I started playing with Chronograph and swiftly started falling into an LRC file rabbit hole (I haven't played with their new bespoke file format yet).

One thing I can't figure out is how you're meant to denote stanzas. I figured you'd just leave a blank line between stanzas, but I don't see anyone else on LRCLib doing that and Jellyfin ignores empty lines entirely. I figured out you could just put a timecode followed by an empty line and Jellyfin renders it correctly, but I'm not sure if that's the proper way to do it and I don't wanna upload bad LRC files to LRCLib.

Any thoughts on stanzas for LRC files? Should Jellyfin be showing the line breaks, is a timecode followed by an empty line the proper way to do it, or should LRC files just not have a way to denote stanzas? This is super niche so I'm not expecting a reply, but it'd be super appreciated if I got one. :blobyeengrin:
