What any of these apps do best is paraphrasing. Obviously, this kind of thing works best on the smaller sorts of revisions. It’s kind of like when you go to the eye doctor and they keep flipping lenses and asking you, “Which is better: number one… or number two?” - and you gradually close in on the correct prescription. And it continues like that until you decide that you’ve found the best replacement. You select one that you like best, which brings up a further buffet. Rather than simply announcing the solution to your problem, it presents a buffet of possibilities. Again, it takes a kind of tree-logic approach to “deduce” a better lyric. Once you get into the nitty-gritty of suggested changes, that’s where Lyrix really shines. There was one song from a current show (that shall remain nameless) where Lyrix highlighted the entire lyric! - as if to say, “Where do I begin…?” There was also one lyric that the app declared to be perfect… and no, it wasn’t by Sondheim. I tested it out with various lyrics from Broadway shows. It doesn’t offer any suggestions until you agree about where the problems are.

And while other apps have only one standard questionnaire, Lyrix has a kind of “question-tree.” Selecting “Theater Song” brings up a different set of questions than “Pop Song”… choosing “Ensemble Song” leads down a different path than if you’d chosen “Solo.” And because the app asks better questions, there’s more reason to be confident in its assessment of any given lyric.Īfter the questionnaire, Lyrix does a full scan of the lyric and highlights what it considers to be the problem spots. just one small example of the kind of comprehensiveness it offers. One excellent feature reveals itself immediately when Lyrix asks whether the lyric is for a pop song, a theater song, an art song, etc. Like most of its rivals, Lyrix begins with a diagnostic questionnaire about the lyric being doctored. Lyrix is the granddaddy of Lyric Editing software, and still the industry standard.
