Actions to handle MIDI Lyric meta events
Although all kinds of different text meta events are shown in a single "Text Event" lane in REAPER's piano roll view, there are some actions that especially deal with the lyric event type. These actions will not affect any text event of any type other than "Lyrics" or any other MIDI event at all.
