Get started with Bystree

Bystree is a word-by-word lyric creation tool for Windows. Build your lyrics, align them with audio, and review the result before exporting.

  1. Install Bystree from Microsoft Store.
  2. Follow the quick start to create your first timed lyrics.
Workspace What you do
Start Open a saved project or import existing lyrics.
Edit Organize lines and syllables, background vocals, translations and transliteration.
Timing Listen to audio and set timestamps using your keyboard.
Preview Review the timed lyrics and associated language tracks.
Export Choose a format and review its diagnostics.

You can move between workspaces as you refine a project. Use undo and redo to revisit editing decisions.

Keep a TTML project as your working copy. Export a separate file for the player or service you intend to use. TTML, Lyricify Syllable (.lys), Lyricify Lines (.lyl) and LRC have different capabilities: a format may not retain every syllable, background layer or language track.

The export workspace reports compatibility and conversion issues. Review these before writing the output.
