[mythtv] Displaying unsynchronized and synchronized lyrics in MythMusic

I am looking for some advice on how to proceed. Awhile back (maybe a
year ago) I wrote some code to display synchronized lyrics from MP3
files in MythMusic. It was mostly a rough prototype at the time and
simply read the info out of the files and displayed the lyrics in the
artist/album field on the main screen. Worked ok but I want to take
it to the next level now.
I'd like to display unsynchronized lyrics in pageable list somewhere
and use the up/down/pgup/pgdown keys to move through it as the song
plays. For synchronized lyrics it would be a similar display except
the current line would be highlighted and the scrolling would occur
automatically. It's not obvious where this should be placed and I am
not real familiar with the MythMusic architecture. I've thought of
the following possibilities:
1. Create a lyrics visualization which displays the lyrics
2. Replace the playlist listbox with lyrics or re-use that real estate
or some other space on the main screen
3. Create a whole new screen
I'd appreciate any advice that might prevent me from going down the
wrong path on this.
Thanks.
