Clicky Clicky Sticks

The Hamburger gives you access to literally ALL the buttons you need to run your whole show straight away. Feel free to Get Weird With It & rearrange or nuke whatever buttons bug you. Out of the box, you're stuck with these bad boys:

Songs Dumpster

This is where the magic happens — your main command center for wrangling songs. Poke around your library, yeet songs into sets, import stuff, manage books, whatever. It's basically organized chaos in button form.

The "Gimme" Sharer

This lil' up-arrow-in-a-box does what it says: blast your current song or set into the void via exporting, emailing, printing, & wireless wizardry. Share the love (or the cringe).

The Monitor Whisperer

Looks like a computer monitor button & lets you hook up an external screen or projector to OnSong like you're basically a tech wizard now. Pair it with an Apple Digital AV Adapter or AirPlay & an AppleTV, & BOOM — your lyrics are projected for all the people, or your chord charts are chillin' on a stage monitor. You're welcome.

The Boombox Vibes

Headphone icon that lets you set a backing track to jam with while you stare at chords & look competent. Tweak the metronome, set the time signature, configure autoscroll duration, or search iTunes for better versions of the song you're about to butcher. Living your best life.

The Action Triggerer

Pops open the Actions Editor so you can go full footpedal wizard — trigger stuff from foot pedals, MIDI, screen taps, & keyboard shortcuts like a true performer.

The Flex Zone

Dead center of the menubar is your current song name in big, bossy letters. Swipe left & right or context-menu your way to different views: the set, what's next, or a timer to count down your doom.

The Texty Texty

Send messages to your bandmates via screen taps & foot pedals. Finally, a way to tell your bassist they're playing in the wrong key without screaming.

The Sorter Ofter

Dump your current song into a set or book, slap a star or icon on it. When a song's got an icon, the star lights up in the menubar like it's special (it's not, but let's pretend).

The Paperclip Zone

Little checkmark-on-pages icon. Tap it to peek at files attached to the song. You can also jump into the Song Editor & tinker with text versions, metadata, all that nerdy stuff.

The Doodle Pad

Pen-&-note icon for scribbling annotations & drawings all over your chord chart like a madlad. Set up viewports or fiddle with widgets from the tabbed menu. Basically your digital napkin.

The Slider Slider

Series-of-sliders icon that lets you tweak how your song looks & feels in like five seconds. Font sizes, colors, transpose, capo it out, toggle the header, zap the lyrics, nuke the chords — full control freak territory.

The Nerd Button

Gear icon = your key to advanced tools, editors & settings that only true power users will understand.

The menubar also flexes a thin teal bar showing your progress thru the setlist. Wanna mess with that? Hit up Settings » Menu Settings » Menubar » Show Setlist Progress
