Lyrical is a LOTRO Lua plugin to sing song lyrics. It can also be used to recite tales or poems. Store unlimited songs and switch between them easily, and recite lines by clicking a single button.
Unzip the zipfile and place the "Astleigh" folder your Documents"The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins" folder.
In game, load it by typing:
/plugins load lyrical
Toggle visibility of the window with:
/lyrical show /lyrical hide /lyrical toggle
Click "New" and enter your lyrics or text into the edit box. You can optionally type a category in "Folder" to organize your lyrics. Nested folders are supported by using a slash character (e.g., "songs/Tolkien"). Click "Save" when you are done editing.
Clicking the quickslot button at the bottom of the window will /say the highlighted line and automatically advance to the next line.
You can select any line by clicking on it.
You can load songs by clicking the "Open" button and selecting the song title from the menu.

Some code is borrowed from Emo by Scott Powers and Songbook by Chiran. Thank you to these authors for their work, without which Lyrical would not have been possible.
