Songs

Song List Screen

Click on the Songs button to view the songs in the library. Global Search allows you to search a song via Title, Alternative Title, Author or song body. The search is case insensitive

Note that this search will check if all the words exist in the song. If you want to search for a specific phrase put the phrase in quotes.

E.g. if you type bless the Lord you'll get the songs Bless the Lord o my soul and Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord. But if you rather type "Bless the lord" you'll only get the song Bless the Lord o my soul.

Chords/Lyrics Editor

In order to display the chords and lyrics and sections properly we use a simple syntax for the first character in each line.

(dot) | a chord line | | " " (space) | a lyrics line | | [x] | name of the verse where x is I, C1, V6 etc | | | | | splits lyrics between two slides when projecting lyrics |

Note Editor

These notes are to remind you how to perform the song while the song is being presented in full screen view. e.g. who is performing the song intro, when does the bass guitarist come in, who is singing solo parts in the verses.
