Tried it Donny...including advancing lyrics with footpedal.

#1. It was cumbersome and selecting a 2nd registration in the bank resulted in the text going back to the top. Unsatisfactory.
#2. Font on the iPad much easier to read.
#3. All my lyric files are .doc and no need to convert to .txt
#4. On my iPad lyrics I can drop in colors indicating bridges or other highlights I use as a cue.

All that being said, lyrics embedded in SMS files work very well on the S970. But I don't use much midi. Onsong is the tool that works best for me. Thanks to Bruno.
