What exactly do the ‘Lyric Shift’ and ‘Range Shift’ features actually do? I’m wondering if they’re really a thing to worry much about or if I should just ignore them completely
To clarify, I know what they are I just don’t really know how or when to use them as a beginner.

Ignore them completely.
Range shift is a pain in the ass – why would you get the player used to pitches scaled one way, and then suddenly throw it out the window mid-song? It never made any sense to me.

Alright, I figured so. I never see people mention these features here, so I kinda figured, maybe they’re overlooked, but then again, if they were a shortcut to do something easier, it’d probably be mentioned a lot more. Thanks for the reply

One of my most troubling things with Vocals is when the vocals shift up or down and I have to quickly get use to the change… At least only when I’m trying to do 5 stars on Expert (Which tbh, majority of the time Vocals are the easiest to get 5 Expert Stars on so majority of the time I am doing them, well was)…
Rambled a bit there, sorry.
I rarely see value to using range shifts in solo vocals — as the range very rarely shifts enough to matter — but I have used them plenty of times on harmony parts where, say, the verses are in a lower octave with two low harmonies and the chorus or bridge is in a higher octave with two high harmonies. Otherwise the chart ends up way too compressed and difficult to read.
Lyric shift is of value for people playing in static vocal style, though it’s also rare a phrase will be long enough to matter. Try testing your song in static vocals and if you see parts of lines getting clipped or what have you consider implementing them. I think I’ve had to use it once.

Will do. I rarely use static myself, but I know tons of people that do use it.
