AFAICT all lyrics could perfectly go into the same track. Lyrics events and other META events do not have a channel. One difference between tracks and channels is that tracks should not affect playback, they are there only for convenience if you want to import the file into a sequencer. Also remember that tracks can mix events from multiple channels. > so that players like timidity (and > certainly several other > "Karaoke" like players) can print the lyrics on the screen while playing > the music. > Using one track for each Lyric context seems like a waste, AFAICT tracks do not have the limit of 16. > I > don't really see the point of separating the different lyric lines into > separate tracks/channels.

Use track 0 for lyrics and you still have many free tracks, with 15 channels each. -- Francisco Vila.
