Lyrics please help the vocalists learn

[Thunderbolts]

Hi this is a desperate pled for help after hundreds hours researching over many years for this resource for singers that would make the world a better place. Lyrics in the right place where to come in. Please can someone post a link to their iRp charts with lyrics. I’ve had this app years but not used it as I don’t want to guess where to write them in when it’s not live and like this it’s very hard to know for sure when not trained in theory.
My magic for singing works in a very feminine and psychic way so without live musicians I need to see where I come in and which way round the parts are as every version is different. I’m excellent at making up melodies lyrics free styling breaking boundaries but I am trying to use technology now to improve what’s hard for me , I want to practice with backing tracks. Online there’s only karaoke popular songs which is not what I really need. Or paying a huge amount of money. Why is there so much help out there for instruments but not for singers. I can pay for help or offer exchange in creative magic musical ways . It seems like I must care about this more than anyone in the world as I’m a pro singer but not guitarist and I’m trying to be self sufficient as I’m not good at technology and travel. First time using forums. I hope I’ll see a response.
Thank you

If you know of a web location that has iRp charts with lyrics that can be freely downloaded, you may share a LINK here.

Thanks

This is an old topic… There are workarounds. I think there are some threads where you can find the workarounds but you have to do it yourself, and you cannot share to the forums if it is copyrighted

Here’s a way to get started with words see example below, and then you can download this to see how I did it

Here is an example chart demonstrating how to add text in multiple lines.
I think it’s best used for brief “reminder lyrics”.

Thank you for representing the vocalists! Jazz musicians are such wonderfully talented people and vocalists want to find easier ways to work together. I regularly participate in Jams vocal jazz sessions and iReal Pro is the only thing allowed--a copy for each member of the trio. I mark it up with highlighters to make sections easier to read for them along with notes like vamp at the bottom of the last 4 measures.

As for lyrics, it's hard, sometimes I write them on the chord sheet but usually I know where I'm supposed to be, either count or hear it. Communication with musicians ahead of time is critical. As I give the trio their iReal chord sheets, I tell them where I want to sing and we work it out. For example, last week I had a song (You and the Night and the Music) that I wanted to do one time through, scat one part (A), then let them do their magic solo the second time through and part of the third run, I came back in at B. It was beautiful. However, the iReal chord chart was different from the piano vocal part I had (parts A B C vs A B C D), so I had to modify to figure out where I was. No big deal, part of learning to grow as a vocalist. Good luck!
