Entering lyrics from lyric search to lyricpad,

Lyric search finds song and artist but when entered into lyricpad, it’s not in alphabetical order, takes up 3 spaces and states artist unknown, artist by span, when put into a play list it doesn’t play and again takes 3 lines

LyricPad has been working great until this week. I can find the songs in Ultimate Guitar but when I try to save them it gives me an error and doesn't save them. The song title is modified with the addition of "by span". Doesn't do anything when I remove that. Hope it can be fixed. I am still using the original LyricPad. I did buy LyricPad3 but I prefer using the original.

I have the same "by span" problem. I use both lyric pad (preferred) and lyricpad 3. The span song won't play on the set list and when I try to copy my files for back up it stops at the span file and won't finish. "By span" seems to be on every song I try to download now. Its not an ultimate guitar thing because I can copy a song from there and "create a song" to add it.

Is the "By Span" issue also present in Lyrics Pad 3???

I bought LyricPad3 but never was comfortable with it, so I continued with LyricPad. But I did load a song from LP3 and it is also a "by Span" file.

With LP I see the files in the directory under LP and then the subfiles. But I cannot find where LP3 files are stored, so I can't work with them.

I do have a workaround for anyone interested.Steps to load songs from Ultimate Guitar to LyricPad manually
