Song Preview
The song preview pane displays how the song will look inside of OnSong. This uses the HTML 5 canvas tag to draw the song just the way OnSong does. You can scroll this pane to view the entire song. Use the toolbar to toggle features and palettes on and off.
Note: If you are viewing a file that is not text-based, it is up to the web browser if and how the file will be displayed. Most web browsers can view PDF files in a browser window, but other documents such as Microsoft Word will be downloaded to your computer for viewing in a separate application.
Low Light
Click on this button to toggle low light mode on and off. Not only does this show you how the chord chart will look in the preview, but when you save your changes the host device will also switch to low light mode too.
Pages
Click on this button to toggle viewing the chord chart on physical pages. This will divide your song based on the Page Layout options you've set in settings. This can give you an idea of how the chord chart will print.

Chords
This opens and closes the Chords Palette so you can transpose, capo, and change the way chords and diagrams appear on the screen.

When viewing external files such as a PDF, this will display the PDF in the preview pane. You can switch between that and the text-based version of the song similar to the Use the imported file instead of OnSong switch in the Conversion Toolbar of the Song Editor.
Download
Click on the down arrow to choose a format to download the chord chart in. This will use the host device to create the file so be sure to save your changes first.
