Forum:Song lyrics

Hey everyone~!

I know I haven't been around in a while so sorry for that and thanks for having me back! I've missed this place ;_;.

Anyhow, I just wanted to get a feel for what you all think about formatting lyrics, since we now have some for both the anime OP/EDs (which probably should have their own Music subcat now?) and the musical numbers.

At first I had just stuck in the lyrics for the musicals plainly like on The Truth Reborn. This is probably not the greatest layout haha.

Some good folks here have kindly input the lyrics for the anime theme songs in a chart format such as for Reason. Pros: - chart layout displays properly on mobile - all languages can be seen side by side Cons: - sometimes on desktop there's a bunch of whitespace that appears in some columns so language lines don't line up as they do on mobile - it's tougher to see where lines start and end on mobile due to screen space

After hanging out a bit on the Sailor Moon Wiki, I found a tabber layout looked really nice on desktop, which I've formatted to I Love You as an example. Pros: - clearer where lines start and end on mobile - looks cleaner on desktop Cons: - tabbers don't display on mobile (basically at all), effectively making it look like my original plain format for The Truth Reborn and thus requiring a heading label to separate the information instead of being able to rely on the tabber text.

Personally, I feel like if we could remove the extra whitespace on desktop of the format like on Reason, that would be the best look, but I don't know if it's possible OTL. But, what do you guys think is better? If I've missed any pros or cons to the options we currently have, feel free to add them in your comment as well! I'm not on a lot of other wikis either so maybe someone has a suggestion they've seen work well elsewhere...

Anyways your input is really appreciated before I go forward with more edits to the musical numbers! As a bonus, it would be nice to agree on a style and have it added to the Manual of Style or Article Structure pages for future.
