The Setlist Scroller

Song viewer settings effect how the song viewer in OnSong behaves. Options include:

Flashy Msg Popups

OnSong can "flash" information on the screen including messages. You can configure how messages appear by default here. (Or just, y'know, ignore 'em like the rest of us.)

Vertical Position Color

When autoscrolling is occurring or when a section is selected, it may be difficult to judge where you are located in a song. OnSong uses a colored line on the left side of the screen to indicate the relative position of the chord chart at the given time. The shape will align with the approximate place in the song according to the lyrics and chords. (Translation: we put a magic line there so you don't get totally lost. You're welcome.)

Renderer

These options dictate how OnSong displays content in the song viewer. You can adjust these options to help improve performance on older devices or for certain kinds of content. (AKA: Your iPad 2 is sufferin', peeps. Let's make it suck less.)

PDF Files

Options for controlling how OnSong handles PDF files in the song viewer. (We totes know you printed stuff. Here's how we'll deal with it.)

Screen

This section controls both the background of the song viewer which is know as the desk, as well as borders to be placed around the virtual paper onto which your music is drawn. (Basically: make it pretty, make it yours, stop askin' questions.)

Sections

The song viewer displays sections of lyrics and chords that can be interacted with using screen touches, foot pedals, and other actions. This section controls section selection appearance as well as how the song viewer scrolls to selected sections. (Your music is broken into chunks. We're lettin' you customize which chunks look fancy & how fast we jump between 'em.)

Zoom & Position

This section controls how the viewer zooms in & out. (Big text? Tiny text? We got you, fam.)
