The Lyric Editor aims to be a full featured editor for the on-line collaboration of music lyrics. It's main goal is to replace the typcial "file save" routine with a database backend.

Each lyric is broken down into the lines which are either a verse, chorus, bridge or out. Each line can have multipul versions, each version tied to the author who wrote it. The lyric has an author as well which has final say over the final version.

The best way to think about this project is to imagine instant messaging, word processing and version manegment combined together.

Here are some key features of "The Lyric Editor":
Create-A-Lyric
FreeForm Lyric Editor
Hook Editor
Invite an Author
Generate PDF

Installation:

Put the files that are in the cgi-bin somewhere in your cgi-bin structure. Edit the Perl modules that are in the services directory to reflect that database host.

Create the database with the SQL file lyrics.sql. Edit the lyricEditor.1.fla file line 5 or 6 to reflect your correct URL for the services. Publish all fla files.
