[Feature Request] Word-By-Word lyrics

It would awesome if we could also download the word-by-word lyrics, similar to https://github.com/zhaarey/apple-music-downloader . Thanks!

Gamdl already has word by word lyrics?? Arguably more user friendly to configure, as you can choose between .lrc, .ttml and .srt

..and it also keeps lyrics embedded in the m4a regardless of the separate file (if you're importing into itunes or on an apple device)

I opened the external TTML file via notepad and it seems that the lyrics are line-synced. This was downloaded alongside a song that I know has word-synced lyrics. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I have “no synced lyrics” set to false and the format to TTML.

Ah sorry I got word by word and line by line mixed up. Could you download a word by word lyrics file from the project you suggested and send it here? https://github.com/zhaarey/apple-music-downloader unless it's not possible at all...

My mistake, I could of worded it better. I have attached a TTML lyrics file (zipped because GitHub does not allow .ttml) from the song "SOMEBODY LOVES ME" by PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake. Viewing via notepad, the formatting itself is correct but the layout makes legibility and editing difficult due to the lack of spacing. GamDL TTML has the correct spacing, even though the lyrics are only line-synced.
