Create text overlay
create_text_overlayComposite styled text over a visual or on a transparent background for lyrics, titles, or credits. Configure font size, color, alignment, and resolution.
Instructions
Composite styled text over a visual (or on its own transparent background) — a Text TOP with font size, color, and alignment, optionally laid 'over' a source TOP through a Composite TOP, output as a Null. For lyrics, titles, song names, or credits in a set. Distinct from the vault's bind_vault_text (which data-syncs a Text DAT to a note); this is a finished visual layer ready for setup_output.
