This article is English-Translated from original article YuzuTechno: Cara Mengatur dan Setting Minilyrics (Indonesian) (In Yuzu-Chan.net)

MiniLyrics is a program that is used to display the lyrics of a song in the time we're playing a song in the music player program on a Windows PC and android and the lyrics can we make individually or automatically downloaded from the Internet, by default, all settings including the display of lyrics set to original settings which sometimes do not match our taste, here are some lyrics display settings, configuration lyrics and advanced settings that I recommend to you:
(Note: I didn't write here are a few settings that don't need to be changed)

1. To install MiniLyrics, visit www.crintsoft.com to download MiniLyrics.
2. Install MiniLyrics, select English and in the middle of the installation process you will be asked about the music player which you want to attach MiniLyrics, I recommend to be installed at a specialist music programs such as Winamp and shouldn't be installed on the video player programs such as Windows Media Player, KMPlayer and VLC.
3. If it's finished, run the music player program that we chose earlier and don't play songs directly.
4. Right-click on the program and select preferences and settings window appears.

Preferences Window

5. On the User Interface tab -> User Interface Sector:
   - You can select the language of the program, I recommend to still using English

6. On the Themes tab -> Lyrics Display -> Color of lyrics text section, there are two settings of lyrics, such as normal lyrics mode settings and Floating lyrics mode settings
   - You can select multiple color display of the lyrics text according to your taste, so can be appear clearly, I recommend for color tagging lyrics first/left of the colored/patterned markings that contrast with the color of the lyrics of the second/right, for example: color and black and white on the left on the right, this also applies to the color transition and normal color lyrics, should be somewhat different in color

7. On the Themes tab -> Lyrics Display -> Font of lyrics text sector, there are two sections, there is Latin Language Font sector and Other Language Font sector, You can adjust the flow of the song which you like, following recommendations of my fonts (there are some fonts that don't show up, so the font that you want to appear, I suggest you unhide the fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts):

   - For those who like western song (eg USA and Europe) and other alphabetical languages, change Latin Language Font sector with your taste, you can ignore the Other Language Font sector.

Example of Latin-based (English) lyrics (David Gueta & Sia - Titanium) (Latin font: Arial, Other font: none)

Example of Latin-based (Indonesian) lyrics (JKT48 - Baby! Baby! Baby!) (Latin font: Arial, Other font: none)

   - For those who like dominant Japanese songs and often use Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana lyrics (Non-Romaji Lyrics), change Latin Language Font sector with your taste and change the Other Language Font sector with Japanese font such as Kozuka Gothic Pro, Kozuka Mincho Pro, Meiryo, MS Gothic, MS Mincho, MS PGothic or MS PMincho.

Example of Japanese lyrics (Minori Chihara - Kyoukai no Kanata) (Other font: MS Mincho/MS PMincho)

   - For those who like dominant Korean songs and often use Hangul and Hanja lyrics (Non-Latin Lyrics), change Latin Language Font sector with your taste and change the Other Language Font sector with Korean font such as Batang, BatangChe, Dotum, DotumChe, Gulim, GulimChe, Gungsuh, GungsuhChe or Malgun Gothic.

Example of Korean lyrisc (CNBLUE - Love)(Other font: Batang/BatangChe)

   - For those who like dominant Chinese song and often using Chinese language text, there are two different configurations because in Chinese language there are two different types of texts, there is Traditional characters and Simplified characters, Traditional dominant for the lyrics (usually Chinese songs from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Malaysia) I suggest you to change Latin Language Font sector with your taste and change the Other Language Font sector with Chinese Traditional font such as DF Kai-SB, Microsoft JhengHei, Mingliu, Mingliu HKSCS , PMingLiu or PMingLiu-ExtB. As for Simplified dominant for the lyrics (usually the song from the People's Republic of China) I suggest you to change Latin Language Font sector with your taste and change the Other Language Font sector with Chinese simplified font such as Kaiti, Microsoft Yahei, NSimSun, SimHei, SimSun or SimSun-ExtB.

Example of Chinese lyrics (Traditional) (SNH48 - Heavy Rotation (Traditional Lyrics Version))(Other font: MingLiu)

Example of Chinese lyrics (Simplified) (SNH48 - Heavy Rotation (Simplified Lyrics Version))(Other font: SimSun)

    - For those who like dominant Arabic song lyrics and often using Arabic text, change Latin Language Font sector with your taste and change the Other Language Font sector with Arial or Arabic Typesetting if you want that lyrics look like in the Quran, if you want that lyrics same as plain text , I suggest you to using the Arial Unicode MS, Tahoma or Verdana.

Example of Arabic lyrics (Maher Zain - Baraka Allahu Lakuma)(Other font: Arial Regular)

    - If still no font or font does not match the font you choose, Windows will automatically use a font that is better suited or boxes appear if Windows cannot find the font.
8. On the System -> Internet, you can set up a proxy to download the lyrics, this is only done if you are using the internet via a proxy.
9. On the sector Lyrics -> Lyrics Download, my recommendation is to check the "Save lyrics in the song's directory" and "As the same name as the song", to ease you when you want to copy the following song lyrics without searching for the lyrics in a different folder and ease searching the lyrics when after re-installation or update MiniLyrics.
10. If it's finished, close the Preferences window
