Can I manually control the order of song lyrics to keep up with the worship leader changes?

Tech Team @ ALWC

Our worship leaders like to free flow through the songs so we need to adjust the lyrics instantly during our service. Is there a way to go directly to any lyric page without scrolling through each one?

 

Thanks,

Alieza

Hi Alieza

When you set up your presentation you put the words in discrete chunks, usually chorus or verse sized bites, but it can be as little as one word or as much as will fit on your slide.

You can then set out an expected run through in the box provided...

One thing that might not be obvious is that if I wanted to sing the above hymn today without Verse 2 I could just leave is out of the box - it would remain in the lyrics - the next time I came to use the hymn I could simply add Verse 2 to the list without changing the lyric box.

WARNING THE NEXT BIT IS NOT TRUE BUT I AM SURE THAT IT WAS AND FULLY EXPECT IT TO BE AGAIN!!!

If at any point you become dissatisfied with your expected run through or the worship leader gets carried away by the whatever you can instantly jump to any of the 'discrete chunks' that you set out by clicking on the preview panel...

HOWEVER TRYING IT JUST NOW I FIND THAT CLICKING ON ANY OF THE SCREENS SIMPLY MOVES ME TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG.

I THINK THIS IS A REGRESSION.

While you're in a song, you can simply press the 1, 2, 3, or C keys on the keyboard to jump to verse 1, 2, 3 or Chorus, etc. (The keys are shown below the thumbnails.)

Thanks for that Bob - I had forgotten that option.

Any thoughts on the return of the click?

This is definitely a regression. Are you on Windows or Mac? Looking into it now, we'll get a fix out soon.

Thanks for picking this up Scott.

I am on a Mac and using the latest version of Proclaim. This is the lap top that is used to present most Sundays - however since we do not have internet - I have a tech to operate the computer for me.

Trying to reproduce the issue and I see the individual slide click is being ignored during preview mode, but not when you're on air. Is this the behavior you're seeing?

Sorry Scott I don't have a second screen with me this week but what I see in Preview is that the clicks are ignored unless I go to a new song then no matter where I click it jumps to the first slide.
