script windows have no name and listen to the same previous/next commands
as every other window in xbmc.

other than that, there should be either a scrollbar on the right
or a up/down page control at the button you can use to scroll thru the lyrics.

I noticed the up/down arrows on the bottom, but I work a lot with the keyboard so I want the shortcuts.
Since the parent window is Visualization, I think there are no page down/up shortcuts defined; at least I tried arrow down/up and it does not help.

Edit: Found that the PgDn and PgUp buttons do page down/up. Go figure! :-)

Edit II: Actually PgUp PgDn move to the top and bottom of the lyrics. PgUp goes to the bottom, PgDn goes to the top. The left and right arrows move between the spin controls on the bottom, then you have to press enter to execute the page up/down. It is, to say the least, not very intuitive. Maybe this is what the python language creator meant by "feel free to use Monthy python's humor". Actually using up arrow to go up one page and down arrow to go down one page would be very boring and predictable.

Still me, with a new issue.

While exploring the whole page up/down issue I discovered that CU Lyrics is calling the Dialog with the lyrics skin defined in the confluence 720p directory.
CU Lyrics has a file, with the same name, in its own skin directory 720p (script-XBMC_Lyrics-main.xml) which is seemingly not used at all.

I wonder if this is supposed to be this way. Just for fun I modified the file name in the addon to "my-script-XBMC_Lyrics-main.xml" and modified accordingly the GUI instantiation in "default.py". It now displays the CU Lyrics skin, which is much nicer in my opinion.

There is a reason for that , it allows skinners to skin addons in the same way as the rest if the skin.

As for the which window looks better, I suggest you keep it to yourself as that is individual opinion... Unless its missing a functionality, taste varies and shouldn't be discussed

Whoaa, what did I ever did to you? Did I offend you in some way? I am sorry.
This and all other threads are plagued with sentences in the style "it would be nice to have this or that..." which is also an individual opinion, I don't see you jumping the fuse on those occasions.

development of cu lyrics has stopped.

as of xbmc frodo, please use cu lrc lyrics:
