#21 Feature request – Option to center lyrics horizontally

[Mathias STERLE]

Hello,
Thank you for this useful software. I regularly use Drumstick MIDI Player to work with karaoke-style MIDI files.
I would like to request a feature to center the lyrics horizontally in the lyrics display area.

Currently, all lyrics are left-aligned, which can be distracting or less visually balanced, especially in full-screen or stage settings. Having an option to align them at the center would greatly improve the user experience in live or educational contexts.

Would it be possible to add a toggle or setting for this in a future release?

Thanks in advance for considering this suggestion, and thanks again for your work.

Best regards,
Mathias Sterle (musician and educator from France)
