This looks great, more so for songs than for slides for us.Makes that 24" wide screen control monitor, mounted portriat, even more attractive.

Now if you could just figure out a sane way to "button" all the steps up in the control panel.

This is outstanding. Lately, we have been breaking up our song verses into multiple slides (almost) all of the time.

It is also good for announcements (which I normally create, regardless of who is running the projector.) The operator often gets confused (while an announcement is being read from the pulpit) with a slide, not knowing for sure if they need to hit '+' another time to finish the slide,or if the additional touch will move them ahead to the next slide before the current slide has been completed.

The Amazing Grace example that Doug Reece shows in his blog can you tell me how that was done.
Thank you,

Looks like he set the lyrics to display one line at a time, rather than Verse at a time or Page at a time.

I believe there are two things you need to do for this to work.

(disclaimer: I verified these instructions by looking at the June '10 version of the program)

1. Edit your song, and go into the Lyric Panel. You will notice at the bottom of the panel there is a hint to type Ctrl+Enter wherever you want a page break. I often set a page break to every 2 or 3 lines of long verses (every line, as in his example, I think would be a little much, but..)

2. But you also need to go to the Display Properties (under the Display Pull Down)
Then choose the 'Song Layout Group' on the left
then choose the 'Show' tab
and select 'Page-by-Page' (The default there is 'Verse-by-Verse')

(there are also several different options to choose there.. Which I have not tried.  Sentence-by-Sentence may do what he blogged)

Now you will get a separate display page for each set of lines you separated by entering Cntl-Enter.

But if you want only one line at a time, you don't need to edit the son. You can just set the display Line-by-line, rather than Page-by-page or Verse-by-verse.

But line by line is based on carriage return, and doesn't consider line wrap. I say this because I once used line by line for spacing reasons, but still had two or three lines (with word wrap) on some of those REALLY LONG funeral marches (re: Larry Norman. ).
