Repertoire Help / Re: Multiple device display is...
Last post by arlo - April 01, 2025, 12:00:10 PM
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.

QuoteMy only requested improvement would be for the Export to have a "Projects" field that includes the project(s) that song is enabled in.

I'll put that on my to do list.

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?

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?

The website is meant for data management and doesn't have layouts or other performance functionality. More info is here:

Repertoire Help / Multiple device display issue
Last post by zach - March 31, 2025, 06:12:40 AM
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?

I released more usability updates today, for the website:

  • The left sidebar with filters on list pages and Save/Cancel buttons on edit pages now uses sticky scrolling, so those items don't scroll out of view when scrolling the main content.
  • The Save/Cancel buttons in popup windows are now in a top toolbar, like in the mobile apps.
  • Some tutorials have a "TL;DR" box at the top, summarizing the info in one or two sentences.

Also, I recorded this video showing some of the commonly requested features that already exist:

Arlo, the new "All Projects" checkbox works great, thank you so much!  Who knows how long it would've taken me to notice that was added.  The export behaves just as I'd hope, including any custom fields that are present in the currently selected project.  My only requested improvement would be for the Export to have a "Projects" field that includes the project(s) that song is enabled in.  I know that gets kinda ugly with songs in multiple projects since you'll need a non-comma delimiter, but it would be nice.

Amazing work as always.

When you said "footnote line" I thought you meant the literal line at the bottom of the screen. That's controlled by iOS and as far as I know it will always be opposite to the app background color. Now that you mention blue I see you were referring to the text fields in the bottom toolbar. That's controlled by BandHelper and they are always that color in either color theme, but I can add a wish list item to optionally override text colors in the light color theme to provide more contrast.

iOS has a "high contrast mode" in the Accessibility settings, but it probably overrides more than you would want. Sometimes people ask why their app colors aren't appearing and it's because they turned that setting on.
