Hi
I see that the branch PICARD-1092: Add support for preserving the SYLT tag by twodoorcoupe · Pull Request #2373 · metabrainz/picard · GitHub has been merged to master. But when I add “syncedlyrics” under Options->Tags->“Preserve…” to the list of preserved tags they still get deleted when retagging an MP3 file (this is with 2.13.3 on windows)
That’s because it has been merged into the master branch for Picard v3 (which hasn’t been released yet). I don’t believe it has been backported for the final release of Picard v2.

Is there something like a nightly build of 3.x available? Or is 3.x maybe close to release?
No nightly builds, but you do have the option of running from source. The problem is that the plugin system is currently non-functional, so you’re out of luck if you rely on any plugins. I know that @outsidecontext is working on it whenever he has some time available, but I don’t know that there is any ETA for release.

OK … I forked the picard repo, checked out the “release-2.13.3” tag, created a new SYLT branch and applied the generated patch file from the URL https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/2373.patch and what a surprise … it applied without error against 2.13.3.
I needed the “Preserve tags” functionality especially for the SYLT tag, so I entered in the list of tags which should be preserved the value “syncedlyrics:eng” (just “syncedlyrics” was not working for me) and it worked fine whith my MP3 files which all have synchronized lyrics in the SYLT tag … the tag was preserved when retagging … my main motivation and use case (as I have to retag a lot with the latest data from MusicBrainz)
Would it be possible to create a new picard 2.x version with SYLT support included ? Should I create a pull request ? or is it enough to report that the pull request/patch from twodoorcoupe actually applies cleanly to 2.13.3 ?

Yes, we want to have another 2.14 release anyway. I think we can include the SYLT changes, thanks for testing this
