Event Sequences Overview
The Three-Step Process
To add events to songs, such as lyrics, lightshows, MIDI
e"ects changes, and hotkeys, three steps must be taken.
First, each individual event needs to be defined.
Secondly, each event needs to be positioned in a time-
sequence. And thirdly, each sequence must be attached
to the song itself on the playlist.
In this manner, multiple lightshows could, for example,
be created in for a single song by making two or more
lightshow sequences. Then depending on what lighting
is planned for the show, the appropriate lightshow file
could be chosen for that performance and attached to
the playlist item.

show, at least for the same audio file, lyric sequences
work slightly di"erently than the others. For lyric
sequences, only one lyric sequence may be created for
each song. This actually simplifies the process because
the third step of attaching the sequence to a playlist item
does not need to be done - it happens automatically.
In general, the steps are:
