1 year ago I'm not sure I understand your problem. Here is what I think you're saying: You have a library where only some tracks have lyrics saved, so you want to be able to quickly search for lyrics for all those tracks that don't have lyrics saved, but currently if you select a track that already has lyrics and ask it to search, it will find & save new lyrics, overwriting whatever you have saved already and you don't want that to happen.
Is that accurate? If so then I wonder what your configured search order is. Your configuration should include as your first configured source, the place that your lyrics get saved to. So for example if you're saving to file then the first source in the search list should be the "Local files" source. If that is the case then searching for lyrics on a track that already has lyrics should just find those locally-saved lyrics and move quickly onto the next track without changing anything. If that is how you have it configured and that's not the behaviour you're experiencing then that's probably a bug and I'd like to hear more.
If that's not an accurate description of your problem then can you try explaining it again please?

For many songs I have manually selected a specific SyncedLyrics from MusixMatch. Or unsynced from Genius or AZLyrics But when I have to automatedly tag SYNCEDLYRICS I remove all sources from foo_openlyrics preferences to force to get syncedlyrics and search foobar2000 for "SYNCEDLYRICS MISSING" and select all songs then RightClick>SearchForLyrics but that replaced my LYRICS (unsynced lyrics) because MusixMatch also has UnsyncedLyrics.
Proposed Solution - Add a line at the bottom of lyrics [AutoDownloaded: Yes/No] And add option to not overwrite lyrics from AutoSearch with [AutoDownloaded No]
