<span class="HMNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">In duet mode Karaoke Video Creator divides the song in three modes: parts that are to be sung by Singer 1, those to be sung by Singer 2, and parts of the song sung together by both singers.</span></span>

<span class="HMNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Parts sung by both singers are displayed in the same manner as the lyrics in non-duets song. But when Karaoke Video Creator finds duet part, it divides the screen into two parts and displays lyrics for singer 1 at the top, and lyrics for singer 2 at the bottom (see image above).</span></span>
