EditCDG is a small program that came out about 8 years ago.
It is a very useful alternative to using a HEX editor to "Fix" errors in CDG files.
CDG files are better known nowdays as karaoke files.
These files are the "Graphics" portion from a CD+G Red Book Audio Compact Disc.
This program allows you to step through a CDG file, step by step, and has tools that enable the user to repair misplaced pixels/blocks.
I've included the Source in a zip file and 3 tutorials on it's usage.
Also is a screenshot of EditCDG with a CDG file loaded, ready to be edited.
BTW, inside the source zip file is the program for windows, it's called "EditCDG.exe"

3rd tutorial that wouldn't fit in last post.

It looks like a VB project, which, as far as I know, makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to port.

If anybody knows otherwise, please correct me, but that's my impression.

I should have known. Since this is a Windows program.
Is there a Linux equivalent?
I know a CDG file with graphical errors can be repaired using a HEX editor,
but that is a very loooong and arduous process.....
I have repaired two very rare CDG karaoke files that had very many errors, using EditCDG.
These two songs took about 2 weeks time, (in my spare time) to repair back to their original state.
It would take someone 6 months to fix these same files, using a HEX editor.
