Song Viewer

Song viewer settings effect how the song viewer in OnSong behaves. Options include:

Flash Message

When using messaging, OnSong will keep each message up for a length of time based on the number of words the message contains. This is set by default to 0.3 seconds per word plus a standard fade out delay of 0.3 seconds. You can adjust how long messages stay on the screen by adjusting this slider. Moving the slider to the left will leave messages on the screen less time. To the right will keep the messages on the screen long. You can choose a value between 0.1 seconds and 1.0 seconds per word.

Vertical Position Indicator

When autoscrolling is occurring or when a section is selected, it may be difficult to judge where you are located in a song. OnSong uses a colored line on the left side of the screen to indicate the relative position of the chord chart at the given time. The shape will align with the approximate place in the song according to the lyrics and chords.

Renderer

These options dictate how OnSong displays content in the song viewer. You can adjust these options to help improve performance on older devices or for certain kinds of content.

Screen

This section controls both the background of the song viewer which is know as the desk, as well as borders to be placed around the virtual paper onto which your music is drawn.

Sections

The song viewer creates sections of chords and lyrics with which you can interact.

Zoom and Position

This section controls how the song viewer zooms in and out.

• Minimum Zoom Scale prevents the song viewer from being zoomed out beyond a certain point. You can adjust this to prevent zooming out, or to zoom out further.
• Maximum Zoom Scale prevents the song viewer from being zoomed in beyond a certain point. You can adjust this to prevent zooming by setting it to 100%, or to allow further scaling.
• Remember Zoom/Position is deprecated as it remembers the last known scale and position of the song viewer for each song. You should use the Set Viewport feature instead.
