General
| Setting | Standard value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scroll direction | Vertical scrolling | Defines whether pages are turned or scrolled horizontally or vertically. Available values: - Horizontal scrolling - Vertical scrolling |
| Page turn mode | Turn full page | Defines whether documents are paged or scrolled. Available values: - Turn full page - Continuous page turn |
| Spacing between pages | Off | Shows pages in scroll mode with or without visible separation. This can disable the visible gray gap between pages in scroll mode. The display then looks like one long continuous roll of paper instead of separate pages with breaks. |
| Default scroll speed | Off | Defines the scroll speed used when a song has “Default” selected as its scroll tempo. If you have enabled scroll mode and select “Default” as the scroll tempo in a song, the default value defined here is used. Available values: - Off - 1 % - 2 % - 3 % - 4 % - 5 % - 6 % - 7 % - ... up to 100 % |
| Animate page turns | On | Uses a page-turn animation or a direct change when changing pages. If you do not want a page-turn animation when turning pages, but a hard cut instead, you can turn off the animation here. |
| Animate opening document | On | Uses a page-turn animation or a direct change when opening a song. If you do not want a page-turn animation when opening songs, but a hard cut instead, you can turn off the animation here. |
| Show documents enlarged | No | Automatically enlarges all documents by the selected percentage. If you choose an enlargement here, all your documents are enlarged by that percentage. This setting is useful only if all your documents have an equally wide margin around them that should disappear by zooming by this percentage. Instead, you can manually zoom and move each song with your fingers and save the individual zoom setting in the song. Available values: - No - +1% - +2% - +3% - +4% - +5% - +6% - +7% - ... up to +30% |
| Page Thumbnails | Large Thumbnails | Shows or hides page previews in the open song. When a song is open, thumbnails of all pages can also be displayed. Here you can choose between two sizes or turn thumbnails off completely. Available values: - Without Thumbnails - Large Thumbnails - Small Thumbnails |
| 2-page view (iPad in landscape mode without scrolling) | On | Shows two pages side by side in landscape orientation. If you have lyrics in portrait format and hold the iPad in landscape orientation, this option can display two pages next to each other. |
| Zoom to max width (iPad in landscape mode with scrolling) | On | Automatically zooms portrait-format documents to the screen width in landscape orientation. If you use SongBook+ scroll mode, have lyrics in portrait format, and hold the iPad in landscape orientation, this option automatically zooms the song text to the maximum full-screen width. Only about half a page is then visible; the rest can be reached by scrolling. |
| Allow manual zooming | On | Allows or prevents manual zooming with two fingers. This option can disable manual two-finger zooming. This helps prevent accidental zooming that would require zooming back out before you can turn pages. |
| Scroll through the pages in the recorded sequence | Off | Uses a recorded page sequence instead of the natural page order when turning pages. If you have songs with an automatically recorded page-turn sequence and this option is enabled, page turns with the toolbar arrow buttons or foot pedals follow this recorded sequence instead of naturally going page by page. For songs with a recorded page-turn sequence, the page-turn buttons in the toolbar show a small circle in addition to the arrow icons, indicating the existing recording. |
