Lyrics and lead sheets about jw-scripts HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi brother! I've been looking into this. It is not that simple, since the site does not provide any way to easily get links to the lead sheets and lyrics, like it does with videos, recordings and publications.

Videos. The music videos can as you probably know be downloaded through --category VODOriginalSongs

Lyrics. This is trickier. Some music videos have external subtitles, and that is essentially the lyrics, but the older songs doesn't have these. Downloading external subtitles is a feature that I will add sometime in the future, @vbastianpc have kindly worked this out already, so you can check out his fork if you want to try it out.

Lead sheets. There is no good method of getting hold of the lead sheets. It would have to involve a HTML scrapper, which could easily be broken by any future changes in the website. Another con is that scrapping text and images from the website is prohibited by the terms of use.

So it looks like I won't be adding this feature any time soon. One thing you could do though is press Ctrl+S in the browser (like Firefox) and it will download the whole page, including lead sheets, video and HTML. I don't know if that is any easier than manually downloading the things you want....
