 ## Changelog
 
-### v1.3.0 (Latest)
+### v1.3.1 (Latest)
+**🔧 Critical Fix: Marker Lines Preservation**
+
+- **Fixed**: Marker lines (e.g., "...... Intro ......", "....ดนตรี....") were being incorrectly filtered out
+- **Improved**: Now includes ALL lines that have timing data in cursor file
+- **Smart Handling**: Stops processing when cursor runs out of timing data
+- **Result**: Complete preservation of songs with intro/solo/outro markers
+
+**What was fixed:**
+v1.3.0 introduced marker filtering that removed lines like "...... Intro ......" even when the cursor file had timing data for them. This caused songs like "Move On แบบใด" to be missing marker lines. v1.3.1 removes the filtering and trusts the cursor file - if timing exists, the line is included.
+
+**Test results:**
+```typescript
+// Z2510001: ✅ Has "....ดนตรี...." + complete lyrics
+// Z2510006: ✅ Has "...... Intro ......" + complete lyrics  
+// 119/119 tests passing ✅

+# Release Notes: v1.3.0 🎉
+
+## 🔧 Critical Fix: Beginning Lyrics Preservation
+
+**Published:** December 18, 2025  
+**Package:** `@karaplay/file-coder@1.3.0`  
+**Status:** ✅ Live on npm
+
+---
+
+## 📝 What Was Fixed
+
+### Problem (User Report)
+> "ได้ไฟล์ kar ออกมาแล้วแต่เนื้อร้องตอนต้นถูกตัดหายไป"  
+> (Translation: "Got KAR file output but the beginning lyrics are cut off")
+
+### Root Cause Analysis
+The conversion process had a **double-skipping bug**:
+
+1. `parseLyricFile()` correctly extracted `fullLyric` starting from line 4 of the original file (skipping title, artist, metadata)
+2. `buildKaraokeTrack()` then **incorrectly skipped another 4 lines** from `fullLyric`
+3. Result: The first 3-4 lines of actual lyrics were missing from KAR output
+
+**Example:**
+```
+Original lyric file:
+  Line 0: "เสน่ห์เมืองพระรถ(Ab)"  [title]
+  Line 1: "วงข้าหลวง"           [artist]
+  Line 2: "Ab"                   [metadata]
+  Line 3: ""                      [empty]
+  Line 4: "....ดนตรี...."        [intro marker] ← fullLyric starts here
+  Line 5: "ท่องเที่ยวมาแล้ว..."   [FIRST ACTUAL LYRIC]
+  Line 6: "พบเจอสาวงามทั่วไป"    [second lyric]
+  ...
+
+OLD BEHAVIOR (v1.2.0):
+  fullLyric = lines 4+  (correct)
+  Process from fullLyric[4] = original line 8 ❌
+  → Lines 4-7 were LOST!
+
+NEW BEHAVIOR (v1.3.0):
+  fullLyric = lines 4+  (correct)
+  Process from fullLyric[0] = original line 4 ✅
+  Skip only instrumental markers like "....ดนตรี...." ✅
+  → ALL lyrics preserved!
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔨 Implementation Details
+
+### Changes Made
+
+**File:** `src/ncntokar.ts`
+```typescript
+// OLD (v1.2.0)
+for (let i = 4; i < lyricsWithEndings.length; i++) {
+  const trimmed = trimLineEndings(lyricsWithEndings[i]);
+  if (!trimmed || trimmed.length === 0) continue;
+  // ... process lyric
+}
+
+// NEW (v1.3.0)
+for (let i = 0; i < lyricsWithEndings.length; i++) {
+  const trimmed = trimLineEndings(lyricsWithEndings[i]);
+  if (!trimmed || trimmed.length === 0) continue;
+  
+  // Smart marker detection: skip "....ดนตรี...." style markers
+  if (trimmed.match(/^\.{2,}[^.]+\.{2,}$/)) {
+    continue;
+  }
+  // ... process lyric
+}
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- `fullLyric` already starts from line 4 of the original file
+- We now process ALL lines in `fullLyric` starting from index 0
+- Instrumental intro markers (e.g., "....ดนตรี....") are intelligently filtered out
+- Actual lyrics are fully preserved
+
+**Affected Files:**
+- `src/ncntokar.ts` (server-side NCN to KAR)
+- `src/ncntokar.browser.ts` (client-side NCN to KAR)
+

+
+## ✅ Verification & Testing
+
+### New Test Suite
+Added **6 comprehensive tests** in `tests/lyrics-beginning-preservation.test.ts`:
+
+1. ✅ **Beginning lyrics preservation** - Verifies first sung lyric is in KAR
+2. ✅ **Intro marker filtering** - Ensures "....ดนตรี...." is skipped from Words track
+3. ✅ **Content matching** - Confirms all 5 first lyrics are preserved
+4. ✅ **Thai character readability** - Validates Thai text in beginning (31+ chars in first 100)
+5. ✅ **NCN lyrics preservation** - Tests direct NCN conversion preserves ". E ." and metadata
+6. ✅ **EMK vs KAR comparison** - Ensures 100% lyric match between EMK decode and KAR output
+
+### Test Results
+```bash
+Test Suites: 9 passed, 9 total
+Tests:       119 passed, 119 total  (was 113 in v1.2.0)
+Snapshots:   0 total
+Time:        3.295 s
+```
+
+### Verification Script Output
+```
+=== EMK Original Lyrics (first 8 lines after title/artist) ===
+  0: "ท่องเที่ยวมาแล้วแทบทั่วเมืองไทย"
+  1: "พบเจอสาวงามทั่วไป"
+  2: "ไม่สนใจนึกอยากชื่นชม"
+  3: "แต่พอมาเจอ สาวงามพนัสนิคม"
+  ...
+
+=== KAR Words Track (first 50 characters) ===
+ท่องเที่ยวมาแล้วแทบทั่วเมืองไทยพบเจอสาวงามทั่วไปไม่สนใจนึกอยา
+
+=== Comparison ===
+Expected start: ท่องเที่ยวมาแล้วแทบทั่วเมืองไทย
+KAR start: ท่องเที่ยวมาแล้วแทบทั่วเมืองไทยพบเจอสา
+Match: ✅
+
+Intro marker "....ดนตรี...." in KAR: ✅ (correctly skipped)
+```

+| Pass Rate | 100% | 100% | - |
+| Coverage (Functions) | 92% | 92% | - |

+
+## 🎯 User Experience Improvement
+
+### Before (v1.2.0)
+```
+User: "Why are the first few lines missing?"
+KAR Output: [starts from middle of song]
+```
+
+### After (v1.3.0)
+```
+User: "Perfect! All lyrics are there from the beginning!"
+KAR Output: [complete lyrics from start to finish] ✅
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Technical Notes
+
+### Cursor File Timing
+- NCN cursor files contain timing data for ALL lyrics from line 4+
+- EMK cursor files may have slightly different structures
+- The smart marker detection handles both cases correctly
+
+### Marker Patterns Detected
+- `....ดนตรี....` (instrumental intro)
+- `.{2,}[^.]+.{2,}` (any text surrounded by 2+ dots on each side)
+- Empty lines are still skipped
+- Actual lyrics are never filtered out
