Suggestion/Request regarding the 'credits'

Dave Hill

I would like to make a suggestion/request regarding the information included in the credits section.

I believe it's redundant, and unnecessary to include the "title" in the credits when being used below the Title on the Title Slide. It seems the credits (namely the copyright information) should be similar to those at the bottom of sheet music, or inside a book, that show the copyright information alone. For song slides it I think would be better to have an "option" (such as we have for the CCLI number) to include the authors, and perhaps the song title, which would be useful, for example, at the bottom of a first lyric slide, or to include the authors with the copyright information on the title slide.

I always use a separate title slide for song slides, and because the title is repeated in the credits information, and since the line does not wrap, I end up leaving the CCLI information off, and I abbreviate the author's first names, and remove the publishers "administrators" and other associations; otherwise the congregation cannot read the text because it is so small.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave!

I know there are very specific requirements from CCLI, and lots of debate and blogs on what to display, when to display are out on the internet. I don't know what is correct, but I do agree that displaying the title twice seems redundant. 

I think it is duplicated because we (Proclaim) allow you to display the copyright on various slides including on non title slides. I'll bring this suggestion up and see if we can do something to not duplicate the title when the credits are on the title slide.

That being said, I think you may be real excited for our next release which will allow greater control over the size and display of the copyright textfield - in fact any single line text field will have more options for you soon #spoileralert #comingsoon!
