I am using sax-n-dotty show presenter[1] as part of the tunebox project. showpresenter has an "audience screen" which is a simple window with a right-to-left scroll that can be set to whatever text the host wants, with replacement for "trackname" and "singer" ala printf. the 2nd component involved is the "MP3+G" plugin[2] for winamp[3].

during the show, the plugin's window must be "on top" (or at least always visible)-- the audience screen cannot cover it. as it turns out the plugin I am using has an "always on top" option in the right-click (aka "context") menu. turning on this option forces the lyrics window to stay "on top" of other windows on the display.

I also had some good results from resizing the audience screen's window to be a little larger than the scroller text, and resizing the lyrics window and moving it so it is just below the audience screen-- that way when the song is playing the audience screen is visible, and the "next person" scroller will be visible even during the song.
