# 2.3. Displaying lyrics

There are two methods to store lyrics in a song, by using `Text events` or `Lyrics events`, some songs use the first, some the second, some use both of them, and some don't include lyrics :-) . KMid lets you choose which events to display, and even better, it has an option to automagically select the type of events that a song uses, so that you don't have to change the type manually . That way, if you activate the `Automatic Text chooser` entry of the `Options` menu the karaoke text will be automatically selected, but you can still change them if you prefer to see the other type.

To select which type to see, you can use the appropiate entries in the `Options` menu, or just press the `1` and `2` keys of your keyboard to see the `Text events` or `Lyrics events` respectively.
