Hiya, I have a bit of an issue: there's a part of my game where I want the player to have the current song's lyrics shown on the screen.

I've pretty much got it narrowed down (text on Draw GUI, shown text changes as timeline decides) except for one thing: I don't know how to color the text as it follows the audio track.

Here's a little mockup to illustrate my idea:

Notice the e that is half yellow, half black? I cannot think of a way to achieve the same result in GameMaker, with the yellow taking over the black text as the verse gets sung. Each verse of the song has a length, which is the number of frames it is sung for.

Any insight and help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
