peter The player is still displaying the volume slider and not the buttons

peter

coopdawg It displays both on a wide screen. Only when the screen is narrow the buttons are not displayed.

But the current layout does not work well because it is easy to press the wrong button. I need to change the layout of the bottom bar completely to make it more usable.

coopdawg

peter , I’m not sure what most do, but I always set my text size before my gigs. What would be your thoughts about moving the text size buttons to the song details view, OR in he settings so it could be set globally for every song. This might allow for a cleaner bottom bar. Just a thought...

peter

coopdawg I don't think that's a good idea because you don't see how the lyrics are displayed with the chosen text size. I personally choose the maximum possible size so that lines are not broken. And for that I need to see the lyrics view.

Peter seem to have lost the play button in the edit lyrics page.
Is this intentional as it was a great help when editing.

peter

Bazz02 Are you editing lyrics for a placeholder? In that case the play button is greyed out.

If not, please upload a screenshot.

Peter sorry my fault ,was just looking at the edit page but as soon as I started to edit lyrics
the play button showed.
Cheers Barry

Would it be possible to have the numbers as well as the letters of the alphabet vertically along side the song list? This is so that if you're in the list area where all the songs starting with the letter "B" are and you wanted a song that starts with the letter "W", you just touch the "W" on the vertical number/letter list and you're instantly in the "W" section. Just like how it works in the Contacts App. I'm having to swipe quite a bit and often overshoot when locating a song. It would also help if like the IOS keyboard, each letter magnifies as you touch it. It doesn't have to be smooth, slick and animated like on IOS itself just have it pop up bigger. Thanks.

coopdawg

I really like what you have done with this update. Looking good!

peter

What do you mean by song list? The queue? If yes, then I can't do that because the queue is not sorted alphabetically.

The song list already has the alphabetical index on the side.

Hi Peter. I’ve been trying this app out at gigs. Maybe it’s because I am used to the old version, but swiping to add songs to the queue seems counter-intuitive. You have to swipe, then press the add button. This gets tiring after a whole night of adding 60 songs. It is much more natural (and similar to the old version) to just tap (or double tap) on the song to add it to the queue. I think the swipe should be used to edit the songs and tap should be used to add the songs to the queue.

peter

Swipe all the way to the right, not only until you see the buttons. Then it will be immediately added to the queue. The tap is already used to edit a song.

This long swipe does work very nicely and is just one fluent motion. But I will try if double tap works equally well.

rumbakid

peter swiping is just not as natural as a motion as tapping. When you are in your bedroom it is fine. But on stage in a live enviornment it is quite different. It take so much more effort to swipe all the way left to right. And you have to do this 60 times in one night. I’ve swiped the wrong song before. In my opinion, the way you selected songs in version 2 was perfect. No need to fix something that wasn’t broke.

peter

rumbakid I will think about ways to streamline the process of playing songs / adding songs to the queue.

rumbakid

peter That would be great. Also, would it be possible to import PDF’s into the lyric window? (For those of us who read sheet music or charts with our tracks.)

peter

rumbakid Not in version 3.0, but this is something I want to add in future.

rumbakid

peter Ok no prob. The fact that version 3 works with split screen is very helpful!
