Multiple device display issue

Hello,

We have 5-6 devices that we are using on stage. We have been using the Follow Actions From, but we are seeing that the lyrics are not showing the same on all devices due to their resolutions. We have also tried display screen from, but when we resize the main screen using pinch zoom, the auto scroll doesn't scale with the readjusted size, and we lose the ability to have personal transposition. Is there a way, using follow actions from, for all screens to see the lyrics and chords is a similar fashion, while all maintaining the proper autoscroll time?

You said "the lyrics are not showing the same on all devices due to their resolutions." Can you describe in more detail what the problem is?

It seems to be that the resolutions of the devices are different and the scalable layout is not consistent across devices. If we pinch the screen to change the zoom, will it mess up the auto scrolling for the song? Or is the scroll speed adjusted if the screen zoom is changed?

I'm not sure what will happen if you change the text size while auto-scroll is running. I would recommend setting and saving your text sizes before a performance so everything is ready to go when you perform.

The lyrics text size will display proportionally to the width of the document viewer in whatever layout you're using. That means typically it will be smaller on smaller screens and larger on larger screens. If you want to override that, for example, to force the text larger on a smaller screen, you can use Settings > Appearance > Lyrics Size Override.

The auto-scroll speed will be calculated separately on each device given its layout sizing and text sizing, so it shouldn't matter if the text doesn't display exactly the same on every device. What matters is that the text you're currently singing is visible on the screen.
