It does provide for displaying lyrics as text on the screen. It should be possible to play voice using a reading program. I don't know of any effort to do that, but that means nothing. MIDI is a format. There is information in a midi file which in theory could be used to sing lyrics. Therefore, MIDI could be said to "support" it, if it ever is done. ;-) daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?
