Attachments Menu

The attachments menu gives you quick access to different versions of the selected song.

Viewing Attachments

Attachments are listed in two sections:

Text

The text section contains text-based chord charts. For example, a downloaded ChordPro file is displayed in the OnSong^® app's text-based renderer which provides the most powerful features of the app like transposition, formatting, lyrics projection, chord detection, etc.

Attachments

This section contains other file formats like PDF or Word. These are typically viewed "as-is" in a compatible viewer. For example, you could have multiple PDF files that change their format or which instrument the orchestration is designed for.

Tapping on an attachment will immediately view that attachment in the song viewer and make that the default attachment for the song.

Edit Chords and Lyrics

When you have a text-based chart selected, you can tap on the Edit Chords and Lyrics button at the bottom to open the Song Editor. This button will read Edit Song Metadata when you are viewing a non-text attachment. Both access the song editor to change the underlying text and metadata of the song.

Add Attachment

You can use the + button in the upper right to open the Import Menu to add additional attachments to the song.

Performing Actions

You can tap and hold (iOS/iPadOS) or right-click (macOS) to view a context menu of options on an attachment in the list. This will display differently depending on if you have selected a text-based attachment, or a file-based attachment and if the current attachment is selected. This provides access to more advanced features like extracting text and converting files into PDF, etc.

Settings

You can tap on the wrench icon in the upper-left corner to access song viewer settings directly.
