SongerPro
1. Rearrange setlist even on the fly
Place your finger on the track you wish to move to a
different position and keep it there for a second or so, then
drag the track to the new position. Hint: Drag the track just
below the line where you want it to be.
2. Change the colour of the setlist
If your not a fan of the multi coloured display of the setlist
then you can change it to a plain black background.
Go into Options and tick the box labelled Single Colour
Playlist Background , this option also highlights the selected
track.
3. Adjust and set the volume of a single track
Select the track you want to adjust and place your finger on
the top Title Bar for a second or so.
The Set Volume Track screen will appear, start the
playback of the track and adjust the volume by using the
slide bar then press save.
This track will remain at the set volume until you re-edit it.
4. Search for a track
If you briefly touch the Title Bar for a moment the Track
Search option will appear.
This feature allows you to search your Master Songlist by just typing in a few letters of the track title, the
more you enter the narrower the search result! - When you select the track you want it will be placed as
next to play in the setlist.
If you are using this feature whilst already playing a track then it will be placed so it will play after the
current track.
5. Inserting Auto Pause commands for use with the Auto Mode setting
The idea behind the Auto Mode function is so you can create a setlist where you can say play 2 or 3 tracks
one after the other and then insert a pause in the set so you can engage with your audience. To do this first
press the Open Setlists button then select Edit Setlists, select the setlist you want to use then press the Add
Auto Pause button. The Auto Pause will be added the END of the list, you can then drag it to the position
you require - you can insert as many pause commands as you wish.
If you want to delete a pause command or any track for that matter just tap it briefly and the Remove Track
option will appear.
6. Using the On Screen Volume control
Go into the Options screen then press the Additional Settings button. You will see the tick box options to
show the control and also to keep the control visible on the screen - Note: This option only applies to the
playback screen (the one where you can see your tracks and the playbutton). Select which options you wish
to use then press Save Settings on both screens.
In order to see the control press the devices volume button, the control will now take control of the volume
and will remain on screen whilst the volume is being
adjusted.
Note: The right hand side of the track list will be disabled
from touch control whilst the volume control is visible, the
left hand side will behave as normal and allow the list to be
scrolled etc…

toggle Volume Mute
If you have enabled the Keep Volume Control Visible
option then pressing the devices UP volume will enable the
display whist pressing the DOWN volume will remove it.

The split screen option is now the default setting when used in landscape view

list.
This option makes it much easier to select a different track from your list order should you change your
mind.
9. Section Looper - Now discontinued!
Discontinued in latest release due to not being compatible with MP4 files
10. Lyrics Text Formatter
This tool is hopefully an easier way of applying formatting to your Lyric Files by giving them coloured text,
larger fonts and block high lighting etc..
To access this page:
1. First open a setlist and choose a track with lyrics that
you wish to edit and press the Show Lyrics button.
2. Now press the Lyric Options button and place your
finger on the Settings button for a second or so and the

you wish to apply the formatting to.
Note: You select the text by placing your finger at the
beginning of the text and dragging over the text to the end
of the section - as if you were copy and pasting! You may
need to practice this a little because if you touch the text
background by mistake it will invoke the on-screen
keyboard and when you remove the keyboard from site it
will also remove your selection!
4. Now select the colour you want to apply and tick the
relevant text formats by touching the text in the boxes. In
this example we are going to use Blue text, make it Large
and Underscore it
5. Once these options have been selected press the Apply
Format button.

and press the Remove Format button. If you are happy

section or just press the Save button.

a set from the list then the setlist order will revert back to
alphanumeric sort.
12. Create Setlist - Track Search Option

in a word from the track you are looking for (the more you
type the narrower the results will be!) choose the track
from the results and this will give you the option to add it
to your set.
The search results are based on the tracks which have not
yet been added to your set so you cannot enter the same
track twice.

page will display a list of fade out times ranging from 0 -
