4.9. Synchronised lyrics/text

This is another way of incorporating the words, said or sung lyrics,
in the audio file as text, this time, however, in sync with the
audio. It might also be used to describing events e.g. occurring on a

stage or on the screen in sync with the audio. The header includes a
content descriptor, represented with as terminated text string. If no
descriptor is entered, 'Content descriptor' is $00 (00) only.

<Header for 'Synchronised lyrics/text', ID: "SYLT">

Text encoding $xx
Language $xx xx xx
Time stamp format $xx

Content type $xx
Content descriptor <text string according to encoding> $00 (00)

Content type: $00 is other

$01 is lyrics
$02 is text transcription
$03 is movement/part name (e.g. "Adagio")

$04 is events (e.g. "Don Quijote enters the stage")
$05 is chord (e.g. "Bb F Fsus")
$06 is trivia/'pop up' information

$07 is URLs to webpages
$08 is URLs to images

Time stamp format:

$01 Absolute time, 32 bit sized, using MPEG [MPEG] frames as unit

$02 Absolute time, 32 bit sized, using milliseconds as unit

Absolute time means that every stamp contains the time from the
beginning of the file.

The text that follows the frame header differs from that of the

unsynchronised lyrics/text transcription in one major way. Each
syllable (or whatever size of text is considered to be convenient by
the encoder) is a null terminated string followed by a time stamp
denoting where in the sound file it belongs. Each sync thus has the
following structure:

Terminated text to be synced (typically a syllable)
Sync identifier (terminator to above string) $00 (00)
Time stamp $xx (xx ...)

The 'time stamp' is set to zero or the whole sync is omitted if
located directly at the beginning of the sound. All time stamps
should be sorted in chronological order. The sync can be considered
as a validator of the subsequent string.

Newline characters are allowed in all "SYLT" frames and MUST be used
after every entry (name, event etc.) in a frame with the content type
$03 - $04.

A few considerations regarding whitespace characters: Whitespace

separating words should mark the beginning of a new word, thus
occurring in front of the first syllable of a new word. This is also
valid for new line characters. A syllable followed by a comma should
not be broken apart with a sync (both the syllable and the comma
should be before the sync).

An example: The "USLT" passage

"Strangers in the night" $0A "Exchanging glances"

would be "SYLT" encoded as:

"Strang" $00 xx xx "ers" $00 xx xx " in" $00 xx xx " the" $00 xx xx

" night" $00 xx xx 0A "Ex" $00 xx xx "chang" $00 xx xx "ing" $00 xx
xx "glan" $00 xx xx "ces" $00 xx xx

There may be more than one "SYLT" frame in each tag, but only one
with the same language and content descriptor.
