OpenLips Studio 0.4.0 Beta

• Add an LRC-only song-creation route with editable, unpitched lyric blocks.
• Add a local word/syllable timing assistant: tap Space against reference media,
  review with timing ticks, undo/redo and re-record from a selected fragment.
• Automatically optimize lyric pages for UltraStar batch imports and song packs,
  preserving musical timing and explicitly authored manual page switches.
• Split blocks into estimated words or melisma segments, assign pitches in the
  editor and save unfinished lyric-first projects without inventing melody.
• Export enhanced LRC and MIDI on the same reference-media clock; block song
  export until every lyric block has an assigned pitch.
• Preserve sub-millisecond note timing when changing pitch or lyrics in the
  inspector instead of rewriting rounded display values.
• Keep wizard navigation inside the window with a consistent cross-platform style.
• Record lyric-page switches with Space during playback, with undo/redo and
  exact timing preserved in projects and exports.
• Snap recorded cuts to complete-word boundaries without splitting syllables,
  melismas or overlapping notes; keep source breaks until explicitly edited.
• Add a separate command to clear page switches for a new manual layout.
• Keep normal text entry available while recording and disarm on project or
  workspace changes; stop playback when closing Studio.

The tested Windows installer and portable archive are available below. Keep the full portable folder together; no separate Python installation is needed. Native macOS/Linux builds and optional runtimes are built separately by GitHub Actions and may be added after this publication. Basic Pitch and USDB remain optional .opl plugins. The Community website is coming soon.

Windows includes media conversion and DLC packaging. macOS/Linux game export still requires already-compatible media. Custom DLC has been played in Number One Hits on a modified Xbox 360; Xenia discovery remains under investigation.

Local verification: 644 tests passed, 16 skipped, 11 subtests passed. Frozen Windows wizard/timing smoke tests and synthetic full DLC encoding/package verification passed. This does not replace console playback tests.
