Lyrics / word breakdown issue
« on: November 24, 2019, 09:55:58 AM »
Okay  looking to see if I can get some help with an issue I ran into...   If I can explain it well enough lol
So  I am working on my ATW 2019 sequence of the Little Drummer boy.  I have 3 singing faces that I am adding to it since I did not see any already done.   Well I have gone in and added everything and looks great....   only problem is the Pum..Pum..Pum  lyrics would not break down.   I guess Pum is not in the dictionary so Xlights did not know how to break it down.  And thata word is used a LOT.   I am not finding a way to fix this.   I have thought about replacing Pum with Rum and redo the entire process but I spent so much time lining up everything I would hate to have to do it all over again.   Would love to overright the word directly on the timing track but I cant.   I even attempted to just manual add the the mouthy features via the on effect but that is not seeming to work for some reason.   Any Ideas?

Add pum to the User Dictionary.

Well  I found it but not sure how to use it.   I can't get it to allow me to click the OK.   but then not sure what to enter in the Phonemes section.

I read in another post that I needed to copy the User_Dictionary to my show folder.   I do that and then when I try to add pum it tells me that the word is already there....   but when I go back to the timing track and try to break down the word, nothing happens.

Well this was already reported recently and fixed 7 days ago but I don't recommend using the new version because of other issues.  So I'd just use a word that is close and works.  You can double-click the lyric to type in a new word. If it plays instead then use Shift double-click.
