Post subject:  Changing a word in a cdg file
Hello, I am just wondering if there is a way to edit a cdg file to change a word?
Saw the thread about the tired of cdg, but am not interested in converting the entire industry. Just if there is an easy way to change one word in a song in an existing cdg file.
Thanks

Unfortunatly, the CDG file isnt just a document you can edit. It's synchronized with the audio, so essentially you have to re-do the whole thing.

Not True at all. There are a couple of programs that are available to fix errors in CDG files, I've tried one and it was a bit too techie for me so I gave up but there are some folks out there that are very good at it.

The way it works is that you have to edit the word one pixel at a time. At least that was the way it seemed to me. There may be some short cuts to make it faster but I gave up on doing it early on.

Well you may find it completely stupid, but I have a song i'd like to sing and not have the F-Bomb pop up on the screen. I'm just funny that way. :roll:

What song? and how many times does the word have to be changed? what do you want to replace it with??? Heck, FRIG or something else?

Maybe I can ask one of the people that do it well to help you out? No guarantees but I can ask.

F8 forward one
F7 backward one
F2 Edit pixel
F9 jump to

It works.
Takes a bit of getting used to.

Like I said...it isn't as easy as using a "CDG Word Processor" or some such and simply changing a few letters. You are essentially bit-editing the graphics in the CDG file one pixel at a time.

Unless you get off on such minutiae...it's faster (and easier) to just re-do the whole thing from scratch.

I have a couple songs from Zoom that actually spell it completely out. One is a Scissors Sisters song - I Can't Decide.
