User Manual
Song Information
The song information editor provides fields that generate tags in the song's metadata section. Filling out these fields and closing the menu will rewrite the metadata in the text editor.
Song Details
The song information section contains common information used to index the song.
- Title is the title of the song.
- Artist is the artist or byline of the song.
- Number is a number assigned to the song that can be used to sort songs.
- Keywords are a comma-delimited list of keywords used to focus the By Topic tab of the Songs Menu.
Keys
This section contains key information to designate how the song should be performed.
- Original Key is the key in which the song is written.
- Transposed Key is the key to transpose the song into. While this is the original transposed key of the song, it's more common to transpose the song using the Chords Tab of the Style Preferences Menu.
- Capo is the fret on which a capo should be applied. This is the default capo to apply to the song, but it is more common to change this using the Chords Tab of the Style Preferences Menu without changing the underlying song content.
Diagrams
This section lets you configure the primary instrument and tuning to determine what diagrams that are used to play the song.
- Instrument lets you choose an instrument. This will change the chord diagrams that appear and effect what strings are tuned in the Tuner Widget.
- Alternate Tuning lets you choose an alternate tuning for the selected instrument. This affects how the instrument can be tuned using the Tuner Widget and may change chord diagrams when supported.
Rhythm
This section lets you control the tempo and timing used to inform the metronome.
- Tempo is the tempo to set for the song content. This opens the Tempo Picker to set the tempo.
- Time Signature sets the time signature in the song's metadata.
- Subdivision is used to determine how the beats are outputted by the metronome.
Scroll and Flow
Using autoscroll requires a time duration to scroll the song, as well as the ability to expand the content of the song to scroll top to bottom.
- Duration is the length of time of the song. You can enter this either as a number of seconds, or in an MM:SS or HH:MM:SS format.
- Flow takes the section labels of a song and outputs those sections from the top to the bottom of the page.
Rights Management
Attribution and protection of songs is important. Use fields in this section to keep track of rights.
- Copyright is the text to be outputted at the bottom of the page and lyrics projection.
- CCLI Song # is the CCLI song number. These are used for tracking and reporting use of the song for lyrics distribution.
- Restrictions can be set to limit what other users can do with the song.
Books
Tapping on this field will allow you to choose books into which this song can be placed. This will output the names of the books as a metadata tag.
MIDI
If you have the MIDI in-app purchase, you can set MIDI to be sent when the song is viewed, or OnSong can listen for specific MIDI commands to automatically load the song in the viewer.
- Send allows you to send MIDI commands when the song is viewed.
- Receive configures various MIDI commands to listen for. When one of the commands is received, OnSong will load the song. If the song is in the current set, the first instance of the song will be loaded. Otherwise the song will be loaded from the library. If the song is already being viewed, it will return to the top of the song.
Scene
If you have the Scenes add-on enabled, you can set a scene to be played when the song is loaded.
