Jivelite NowPlaying screen & skin - help with UI mod of NP view

Hi.

I'm trying to add a view to jivelite's *NowPlaying (NP) screen* that
will allow me to view track lyrics. The idea is to jump/swipe back and
forth between my usual NP view and the lyrics view. BTW that's why I
think it can't a separate screensaver but has to be a 'hack' of the NP
screen.
I know that lyrics are available from a track's context menu but that
means more clicking and swiping and - more importantly - if you have
NowPlaying set as your screensaver it always jumps away from the lyrics
after a couple of seconds (as it should). So not an ideal way to follow
the track lyrics while a song is playing.

Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with jivelite skins (I'm using the
*JogglerSkin* here) or lua. The screenshot shows you how far I got. The
lyrics stretch down to the end of the screen, behind the control bar at
the bottom (red line), and are not scrollable (no slider). Before I give
up on this, I thought I'd ask:

Is it possible to use something like a multi-line textarea with a max.
height and a slider for scrolling through the lyrics *in an NP view*?

Thanks for your help.
