KAR files are similar to midi files but it includes lyrics. It would be nice to also show the karaoke lyrics, maybe like vanbasco karaoke player.

BTW Beautiful midi player.

As there are rare document about .kar format, not sure how we can read lyrics from the file. I've tried to download some KAR files sample, midiplayer3 seems to play them well as the files are acturally writted with Standard MIDI format with extended information.

If you can provide any link or referenc regard KAR files about how lyrics are stored in the files, I may try to add it in the later version of midiplayer3.

As it is a rare file format, and somehow undocumented, this is what I found. https://www.mixagesoftware.com/en/midikit/help/HTML/karaoke_formats.html
