I'd like to see Perform Window navigation actions be user settable. For me, there are too many actions to scroll and move back/forward between songs to the point where I'm about 50% successful in getting the behavior I want. This isn't because I'm uncoordinated, but as a very kinetic drummer, it's hard be accurate (particularly during song performance when you realize you aren't where you want to be on screen but can't stop the performance).
Here's what I'd like to have as my default behavior in the Perform Window:
- Single tap - does nothing (in my case, I can't reliable hit the right portion of the screen to effect the right action)
- Double tap - shows/hides navigation bars (default now is select/copy which is useless and should be disabled!)
- Tap and Hold - enters song edit mode (and saving the song returns you to the Perform window)
- Swipe Up/Down - scroll up/down not more than one page view
- Swipe Left/Right - previous/next song
- Two finger pinch/expand - zoom in/out
Right now, two of the default actions (double tap and tap hold) result in selections which is really not a useful action in the perform window. Often (50% of the time) when I'm resizing the lyrics or chords with a two finger gesture, I end up with a selection which is really frustrating.
Why have a 'edit song' action? Well, when practicing for a gig, I want to use the Perform function so I know exactly what is going to happen live (the ultimate dress rehearsal). The most common thing that happens is the band makes a tweak to the song which necessitates a change to the lyrics or chords or tempo etc. Currently that requires backing out of Perform, finding the song in the Show list, click edit, make the change, click save, click Perform again, scroll to the song in the set list, and select the song. Too many steps; too slow. The band is ready to play the next song while I'm fumbling with SLM. Or worse, I don't bother to document the change.
I recognize my way may not be for everyone, so the ability to make these action user customizable would be ideal for everyone.
Cheers,
