Lyricsfile questions

[C0rn3j]

I see the spec is here - which should really be linked from the 2.0.0 release.

1. It however does not address file names - what is the expected file name for the default file (original language(s) of the song)?
   lyricsfile.yaml perhaps?

2. What if I have a song in Japanese and want to translate it to English and want to have both original japanese + english translation lyric files available, how do the file names look like then?
   lyricsfile.yaml for the Japanese and lyricsfile_en.yaml for the translation perhaps? Or should even the original have a ISO 639-1 code appended?

3. What if I have a song in multiple languages?
   Such as this one or this one, the language field only supports one language.

4. YAML is already used - would it be a good idea to have translations available in the same file, perhaps keyed by ISO 639-1 language codes + some special tag for original entry?

5. The 2. Synced + Plain (Customized) example in the docs has an extra The city is my church line in the plaintext lyrics, it should perhaps be also added to the synced lyrics to not have a confusing example?

6. This is a nitpick, but 4. Word-Synced Lyrics mixes single and double quotes.

I've just created a place for us to discuss about the format here: https://github.com/tranxuanthang/lyricsfile

I agree with .lyricsfile.yaml extension, so that text editors can automatically highlight the YAML syntax.

We can make language metadata's type as something like string|array, or just array for simplicity.

I'm not sure about the others yet, so I will check back later.

I also think that, since no other software supports LyricsFile, there should be a way to export as E-LRC, as it's supported by many more applications.
