Many lyric programs support exporting songs as plain text files. For example: MediaShout and ProPresenter.

Make sure that LyricConverter can read these formats, especially for MediaShout and others like it that use a binary file format which will be difficult or impossible to extract data from otherwise.

Please consider adding support for the OpenSong's [mostly] XML format: http://www.opensong.org/pages/song-file-format-specification.html

The non-XML bit is the text contained in between the tabs, eg:
[V1]
Verse 1 line 1
Verse 1 line 2
Verse 1 line 3

[P]
Pre-Chorus line 1
Pre-Chorus line 2
Pre-Chorus line 3||
Pre-Chorus line 4 (on slide 2)
Pre-Chorus line 5 (on slide 2)
Pre-Chorus line 6 (on slide 2)

[C]
Chorus line 1
Chorus line 2
Chorus line 3

[V2]
Verse 2 line 1
Verse 2 line 2
Verse 2 line 3

[B]
Bridge line 1
Bridge line 2
Bridge line 3

Hi,

Stumbled upon your program which looks great.

Was wondering if it works with Mediashout v7 which we used at our church. I believe they used json format for their lyrics.

I have a bunch of songs in text format which I would like to convert so they can be used in Mediashout if possible.

Thanks

Dear all,
I am migrating from OpenSong 3.1.0 to ProPresenter 7.16.1 and need to convert my song library.
I have experienced issues with UTF-8 encoding in the verses.

The songs are exported as OpenLyrics XML
test.xml.zip

File converted using LyricConverted to ProPresenter 6 looks OK. The CCLIAuthor and other metadata are correctly converted, no issues with UTF-8.
test.pro6.zip

Once opened in ProPresenter 7, the UTF-8 characters in verses are broken.

Any ideas how to overcome the issue?
Is the problem related to the conversion or to ProPresenter 7 import of the document?

Hi,

Thanks alot for getting the converter for Mediashout files working. This is going to be super helpful.

I was able to get a few files converted from text to json without issue.

However, when I checked the converted json file I notice that all the verses are labelled as verse 1. This includes the chorus.

I know Mediashout uses Part Types I think to distinguish between different types of verses but how will the converter know that a verse is a verse and a chorus a chorus. Will we need to have a label above each verse to say what type of verse it is?

Please advise.

Thanks

Rohan

Find a better workflow or UI on the current workflow to better guide people on what this website/app does so they know what to do when they get here.

We ran into errors with 826 of the songs, and they were not converted... is the error message I'm getting when I try to the Drag my song files to the box in the Lyric Converter website. Help!

If you want to give EW conversion a go, it looks like you can grab databases from the Salvation Army by going to http://delministries.tripod.com/easy_worship.htm. File extension is .ews and from what I can find, is a paradox table.
