Release Notes ! Moved the Settings button from the main menu inside each project to the Accounts list under each account name, to make it more clear that settings are saved per account rather than per project. ! Moved the layout actions to the Remote Control settings page and renamed that page to App Control. This change lets you set layout actions like Send MIDI on Song Selection at the device level rather than the layout level so the functionality remains consistent if you switch layouts. However, a few actions remain at the layout level: auto-selecting the next song on Song Completion, which you can set on a layout's Edit Details page; hiding the song list on Song Selection, which you can set in the options popup on the Edit Song List page; and showing or hiding the document viewer on Song Selection, which you can set in the options popup on the Edit Document Viewer page. * Added a Song Auto-Selection option to the app control settings. When a song is automatically selected by the completion of the previous song, any actions set to Song Selection or Song Auto-Selection will be triggered, but when a song is manually selected, only actions set to Song Selection will be triggered. You can use this in conjunction with the Select Next Song on Song Completion ... Only Between Linked Songs option to set up different behaviors for linked songs versus manually selected songs. ! Replaced Layout MIDI Presets with Pinned MIDI Presets. To make a MIDI preset available from any song, insead of attaching it to a layout, you can now edit the preset and turn on Pinned To All Songs. Pinned presets will appear in your layouts in alphabetical order, and will be available regardless of which layout you are using. * Added a Pinned To All Songs setting on the document and recording edit pages. Like pinned MIDI presets, pinned documents (including videos) and recordings will be available from any song. You can select pinned items from the Multiple Document Buttons, Multiple Recording Buttons or Multiple MIDI Buttons layout items, from app control actions or from automation tracks. ○ Changed the assignment of app control actions to allow selecting multiple triggers of the same type. For example, you could set Next Song to a foot switch up arrow and right arrow to use with either of two foot switches that send different messages. ○ Separated the Show/Hide Chords app control actions into Show/Hide Chords Field and Show/Hide Bracketed Chords so that you can control these functions separately if needed. You can also assign these functions to the same options to trigger them together as before. ○ Added layout actions for some additional controls, and removed a few that were redundant. ○ Added an Active / All option to the top of the app control Actions list so you can easily see the actions you have configured. ○ Added a small sync icon next to the items on the Settings pages that are synced across your devices. Items without this icon are specific to the current device. ○ Renamed the Settings > General Settings page to Settings > General. ○ Added a One Number For Linked Songs setting to the song list layout options and the set list share options. When used with the Song Number option, this gives a number only to the first song in a group of linked songs. ○ Restored the ability to add formatting to ChordPro-positioned chords, but only if the formatting is contained entirely within the square brackets. Formatting that extends beyond the square brackets will not be applied to the chord. This means you can explicitly apply formatting to chords if you wish, but you don't need to worry about excluding the chords when adding formatting to the surrounding lyrics. ○ Restored the display of the event pay to users without editing access but with full finance access.
