## Lines Visible

For Karaoke and Scrolling layouts, choose how many lines to show:

* **2 Lines** — Compact view
* **4 Lines** — Standard view
* **More lines** — See more context

## Vertical Position

Position your lyrics on screen:

* **Top** — Lyrics near the top
* **Center** — Lyrics in the middle
* **Bottom** — Lyrics at the bottom (most common)

## Anticipation Buffer

Control how early upcoming lines appear:

* Increase to show lines earlier
* Decrease for a tighter timing

This helps singers prepare for upcoming lyrics.

## Container Height

Adjust the area where lyrics appear:

* Larger values give lyrics more room
* Smaller values create a more compact display

## Padding

Add space around the edges of the lyrics area:

* Keeps lyrics away from screen edges
* Useful for TVs that crop the edges

## When Singers Overlap (Duet)

When two singers sing at the same time:

* **Show Both** — Each singer stays at their position
* **Merge to All** — Overlapping lines use the "All Singers" style
