Excessive vertical spacing when displaying synced lyrics #316

Description

@mainkyahikarun

When viewing synced lyrics, the vertical spacing between each lyric line is much larger than when viewing plain (non-synced) lyrics. Because of this, only a few lyric lines are visible on the screen at once, making synced lyrics harder to follow while the song is playing.

To Reproduce

  1. Open ChocoLa.
  2. Play a song with synced lyrics.
  3. Open the lyrics screen.
  4. Compare the display of plain lyrics and synced lyrics.
  5. Observe the large spacing between each synced lyric line.

Expected behavior

  • Synced lyrics should use a more compact line spacing, similar to plain lyrics.
  • More lyric lines should be visible on the screen at once.
  • Alternatively, provide an option to adjust lyric line spacing.

Screenshots

The screenshots below show the difference between plain lyrics and synced lyrics:

Plain lyrics (without timestamps)

The first screenshot shows the lyrics file without timestamps.

The second screenshot shows how the same lyrics are displayed in ChocoLa. The spacing is compact and easy to read.

Synced lyrics (with timestamps)

The third screenshot shows the same lyrics with timestamps added to create an LRC file.

Image

The fourth screenshot shows how the synced lyrics are displayed in ChocoLa. The vertical spacing between each lyric line is significantly larger, reducing readability because fewer lines are visible on the screen at once.

Additional context

Thank you for the amazing app! I really like the design and overall experience. This small UI improvement would make the synced lyrics view much more comfortable to read.
