1. Start a supported track

Play a song and make sure its title and artist appear in Choral. Accurate track information helps Choral find the matching lyrics.

2. Open the lyrics view

Open Choral's menu and choose Show Lyrics. The floating window expands to display lyrics for the current track while playback controls remain available.

3. Use the global shortcut

The Show / Hide Lyrics action also has a global shortcut. Customize it in Settings > Shortcuts if you want to open lyrics without bringing Choral to the front.

4. Improve a missing match

Wait for the full title and artist to load, then close and reopen the lyrics view. Live recordings, remixes, local files, and unusually formatted titles may not have a matching lyric result.
