Song Layouts Question

[sbattisti]

Hi all, newbie here. Trying to figure out song layouts. I was watching this video, and it lists a bunch of different default layouts. But my app only has "More Buttons". I tried the instructions in this video to "rename standard layouts" and "load default layouts", but I don't have a "load" option in my settings.

Also, when editing the "More Buttons" layout, is there a way to change the already-present elements like the "Title +1" in the bottom right? Everything seems slightly grayed out, and I can't select any of those elements.

Finally, is there somewhere that intrepid users have already created layouts for other people to import? I didn't see anywhere obvious in the forums.

Thanks!

The apps now only create one layout by default, because many users disliked the clutter of getting a full set of layouts automatically. If you want to try some other standard layouts, you can go to Repertoire > Layouts and click the add button to add them.

You can change the bottom toolbar fields by editing the layout's buttons and fields, clicking the field you want to change and selecting a different field name from the popup.

I haven't seen much public sharing of layouts. I guess this is because custom layouts are pretty individualized and it's just as easy to customize your own than to look for someone else's to import.

Thanks Arlo.

I tried changing the bottom toolbar fields, but when I click the field I want to change (I want to change Title+1 to Title), it does add Title as a new field, but it's superimposed on the Title +1 field, which I can't seem to get rid of.

I suppose I could resize Title so it covers Title +1 exactly, but that doesn't seem like the "right" solution.

I'm doing this through the web interface in Chrome, if that helps!

Thanks!

It seems like you're not clicking right on the Title +1 field, so instead of changing that standard bottom toolbar field, you're adding a custom floating field on top of it. If you click carefully on the contents of the Title +1 field, you'll see a popup containing only field names and you can select one.
