Open Beta Version 3.4.0

peter Peter great job with trim but still one little problem, create 1 min start trim 2 min end trim hit done when you start the song it does not do what you have just programed untill you leave this song and then return, its like done does not update the new song settings until you reenter the song.

I have just figured it out, the reason this happens is the priority is given to where you were in the song when you went to edit the trim , when you come back from editing this position takes priority and not the new settings, now this is not a major drama but it does apper to be a fault because you expect to immediately get what you have created.

Regarding the filter songs itself, now you have INCLUDE KEYWORDS then a list of all the filter options and then below that you have EXCLUDE SONGS then another list below that, this is not very practical especially if you have created a lot of filters.
SUGGESTION to improve its usability.
I would have one list in the middle of the box for filter names and the tick to select option either side that way you have no repetition of names a much shorter list to scroll through and a simple choice click on the the correct side of the song that you want the filter to apply to, and i would also make sure the headings to the tick columns do not dissapear with the list. Ignore song title that was a mistake its actualy meant to be the filter words.
Everything above the dotted line is allways in view.

Hi Peter, I love the fact the filter is always there here is a photo of iPhone version in landscape as you can see there is not much song view realestate, my observation is that the filter area is unnecessary too thick it could be halved if you place the Letter on the left up to the filter writing position this would gain realestate, and the other issue is when you type in a search and get your results you can’t see them because the keyboard is blocking the view and you can’t close it unless you hit cancel but if you do that you loose your search results.
The keyboard needs a switch to be able to hide it or some other option that allows you to see your results.

My other observation is the search area in landscape is huge and as you know the less you type in the search the more likely you will find what you want, if you notice the smaller search in the playlist view is halved and it still does a great job, why couldn’t you fit the filter and sort by all on the same line and the Letter on the bottom left of search line gaining a hell of a lot needed realestate and usefully using the big wasted search area.
Example

I just noticed the drop down the keyboard key bottom right is available on iPad but not available on the iPhone version yet it is more needed there go figure

Hi Peter heres what i have found regarding the blue highlighted song in playlist mode only, it does not matter if you have allready played purple songs involved, the issue happens on any unplayed songs,
As the blue highlighted song plays and you choose the next song other than the one immediately below, the blue highlight dissapears on the now playing song.
This issue does not seem to be a problem in song mode.
You might be aware of this already.

No, that's not how highlighting works. Highlights are always visible whether playback is running or stopped. If you change the position in the waveform view, lyrics are highlighted in realtime as you change the position. This is working as I inteded it. If you don't want the text highlighted immediately, you should not use the timestamp [00:00.00]. But I wrote that already a couple of pages above.

I don’t understand the fact ST2 worked perfectly in that respect yet ST3 is not.
Have you changed the logic of operation in ST3 to suit another operation of the player or perhaps I am not clearly explaining this problem. It is forcing me to do one more thing on every song I create when ST2 just worked as expected.
Why would you want a highlight on the first line when you haven’t started the show yet, that’s the main reason I use synced lyrics as it highlights lines in sync with the playing song keeping me it time. An immediate highlighted line means the show has started yet it hasn’t, it does not make sense.
ST2 was working in this respect ST3 isn’t I don’t understand why.

USING HOSTS Feedback
I love this feature as my daughter is a singer and i have a number of singer friends that sometimes appear at the venue i might be performing in, its easy for them to join their iphones to my ipad and presto can join in.
But i have some issues with the way the slaves being a smaller screen dont seem to work well.
The Text size on the ipad becomes too big for iphones and yet there is no compensation for this my average text size on ipad is 40 to 50 but his size does not transfer well to iphones, i wish there was a control on the client settings to be able to compensate for that.
Now what happens is you shrink the lyrics on the iphone manually for each song that plays because the size reduction of now playing song gets reset by the next song, I wish that this command to reset the font was never there that way whatever size font you choose on the slave it stays that way so you can tweake it once and from then on it just stays in that setting relationship for all other songs from the ipad.
I also find it irritating that tweaking the font size on the ipad does nothingto the slave unless you leave the song and come back.
The way i would have it is if you tweak the host text size the slaves also react immediately, but if you resize the slaves text size it maintains that relationship with the host, that way you set it once and everything just works with no more tweaking required.

I might have found another one.
I cant destinguish between the two identical messages, if i dont select anything and press the two different buttons the messages i get makes me think both of those function buttons do the same thing.
