After some off-list discussion about whether to do so at this time, I've
ported the Lyrics Window forward from the UmixIt branch, under #define
EXPERIMENTAL_LYRICS_WINDOW. There are definitely some problems in window
focus with this, and the "Highlight" style isn't working, so disabled.
But I'd like to see this, and the MixerBoard (which I plan to port
before the 1.3.8 freeze), in the 2.0 version. Four new src/Lyrics*.*
files to add to builds.

Simple test: Generate > DTMF, Analyze > Beat Finder, View > Lyrics...,
Play. It uses only the first label track for lyrics.

Discussion happened a few days ago and then I had a hard disk fail and a
couple of days to recover from that to a new main computer. The
discussions were about whether to commit these new features during
freeze and whether to make the additions as modules. The modules API
would need modifications to handle these types of features and I decided
the best way to figure out exactly what mods are needed, was to port the
simpler of the two.

I was close to getting the current commit working when I had the disk
failure. (And hey, it's true that you can put a failing drive in the
freezer to be able to recover some additional fragments before complete
failure. Re-installed the chilled drive and it worked until it heated
up. Hooray!)

And I think making these features be modules is worth consideration, not
to mention updating to ShuttleGUI as warranted, but since time is short,
I plan to go ahead and port the MixerBoard before the 1.3.8 freeze, also
under experimental #define flag. Both features need fairly tight
integration -- but could be made into modules with the right support.
