My congregation worships a cappella, and we make heavy use of sheet music. Virtually every song we sing has sheet music displayed in slideshow format. Proclaim allows us to do this, but we lose a lot of functionality that comes with songs that are in the song library. It would be really great if we could import slides or images as a full song in the library, rather than just as images in the media area.
Here are the main benefits I think having this feature would provide:
- All songs in one place. No need to search for lyrics in one place and sheet music in another
- Easily find songs. Right now we have to search our entire media library and our sheet music gets interleaved with other results
- Multiple Arrangements. We have to take the slides that we imported into our media and add or remove for every service depending on what verses we want to sing. The song library already supports arrangements
- Lyrics on the confidence monitor. Right now our choices are "see the sheet music" (which means I can't see the words coming up next), or "see notes" (which I have to manually enter for every service)
Even if we were only able to import images as a group into the song library it would help with song search and re-use. Thanks for considering this!
