Text sizing

Excalibur

Hi, I have a song which I have added a text file for the lyrics.
In a section of the song I play saxophone, so I put the notes for the sax into the txt file , and also add a full stop so stage Traxx does not recognise it is chords

I then time stamp the sections of the sax notes and it works fine, scrolls etc.
My question is : Am I able to change increase the size of the text for just this noted section
and can I also change the font ?

Excalibur if you add a # before the text it will make it larger and bolder.

Cheers that worked. Thanks

Lishy I have tried and tried - this doesn't work on my iPad. Other formatting (chords, bold/italic, text colours etc) all work. But if I type a # at the start of any line, all that shows up in the lyrics sheet is the "#". Not the larger text.

MickJames But if I type a # at the start of any line, all that shows up in the lyrics sheet is the "#". Not the larger text.

Make sure there is a space between the # and the text - just like it shows in the docs - https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/lyrics/#headings

Otherwise, copy and paste an example that isn't working for you, otherwise we're just guessing as to what you might be getting wrong.

I appreciate your comment but I spent half an hour in the docs already before coming here. And absolutely nowhere does it say "make sure there is a space between the # and the text" or anything similar.

Here is exactly what it says (copied/pasted):
A line starting with one ore more number signs # defines a heading. The number of # characters correspondents to the heading level. Up to 3 levels are supported.

That's it. Period.

This should be edited in the docs so it is clearer.

MickJames Look at the examples in the docs immediately after the line you quoted.

peter

MickJames Post your lyrics. Without that we can only guess what you do wrong.

Thanks all, problem solved.

AnthonyB the examples do not make the space after the # obvious at all.

peter thank you, it's fine now that I added the space after the "#".

I really appreciate both of you jumping in to help, and I hope the formatting requirement is made a little clearer!

For example: "A line starting with one or more number signs # followed by a space, defines a heading. The number of # characters correspondents to the heading level. Up to 3 levels are supported.
