To use this patch:

  1. Put the song in “songs” folder
  2. Pull the lyrics from Apple Music web’s syllable-lyrics API and save it under “songs folder” with .xml extension
  3. Open format_lyrics.py and on line 4, change She Looks Like Fun - Arctic Monkeys.xml with your xml filename. Then run python format_lyrics.py
  4. Open music-lyrics.vl, select the music and the lyric file (appears at top left of the patch, inside a violet frame) and then press play

To do step 2, you have to open Apple Music web app, play the appropriate song, open lyrics panel, open n/w tab in devtools, and then look for syllable-lyrics API. You have to look for ttml in the response and copy its value. This value is XML.
