<span lang="EN-US"> **Important information:**</span>

<span lang="EN-US">If you start dragging word labels during playback, Karaoke Creator enters word adjustment mode. It will loop around current label position, allowing you to get perfect synchronization. This feature can be controlled in **Tools** / **Settings** under **Synchronization** / **Loop playback when dragging labels**. You may adjust the time margin that will be used for playback.</span>
