Synced LRC highlights the playing line, keeps it centred and seeks on click.
Plain text scrolls continuously with a nudge knob instead — a highlight on
guessed timings turns guaranteed drift into what looks like a bug. Seuraa
kappaletta turns following off without losing the highlight, and scrolling by
hand turns it off too.
Fixes the scroll landing in the wrong place (offsetTop measured from a
different coordinate space than the box it was applied to) and the fader
shifting the deck sideways at score 100 (auto-sized grid columns plus a
readout spanning both).
Lyrics are suggested at submission and never imposed. The conversion worker
makes one LRCLIB lookup with whatever metadata exists, and the waiting page
has a Hae sanoitukset button that re-queries with whatever title and artist
are currently typed — which is the case that matters, since our metadata comes
from ID3 tags and YouTube uploaders. Neither path overwrites typed text.
- lyrics text on both submissions and songs, copied across at publish. Nothing
has launched, so the column goes into 001_init.sql rather than a migration
- The lock does not cover lyrics: it freezes what the song claims to be, and
nobody reviewed the lyrics. So the submitter can still fix them afterwards,
or paste them for an old song a year later
- The review strip gained a second pane: lyrics on the left, review on the
right, so following the words costs no scrolling. No lyrics means no pane,
not an empty one. Below 1024px the panes stack
- LRC timestamps are stored but stripped for reading — they belong to the
player, not the reader
- The lyrics box is capped and scrolls inside itself, so a long song cannot
stretch the strip past the screen
Fixes a real bug found on the way: saveMetadata cleared any field the request
did not carry, so publishing wiped the lyrics the worker had just fetched.
Fields absent from a request now keep their stored value.
The client identifies itself to LRCLIB as "levyraati" and nothing more.
Tests cover cleanLyrics keeping line breaks, and fetchLyrics against a local
server: synced beats plain, instrumentals and wrong-length takes are skipped,
and a miss is empty with no error.
