The Clicky Bits

When using OnSong on iPhone or iPod Touch, access to many menus is moved to the bottom of the screen via a toolbar. The following items can bet accessed:

Lemme Share This

This icon looks like an up arrow in a box and allows you to share the current song or set in a variety of ways including exporting, emailing, printing, & sharing wirelessly. Basically, you're about to spam your bandmates.

External Video Menu

This menu button looks like a computer monitor & lets you configure an external monitor or projector for use with OnSong. Using an Apple Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, Apple Digital AV Adapter, or AirPlay & an AppleTV, you can use OnSong to project lyrics for an audience, or to display chord charts on a monitor on stage. Translation: Make your lyrics look bigger so people can actually read 'em.

Playback Menu

This icon looks like a pair of headphones & lets you set an audio track to play along with while viewing the chord sheet. It also lets you configure the metronome tempo & time signature, as well as setting a duration of the song for autoscroll. You can also find new versions of that song through the integrated iTunes search. Basically, we give you a robot drummer because your actual drummer is probably late.

Messages Menu

Using this menu, screen taps & foot pedal presses can send messages to your team. Use these to communicate more effectively in live performances. Or just send them "HELP" & hope they understand.

This button may be removed on smaller screen sizes.

Organizer Menu

The organizer menu is used to place the currently loaded song into a set, book or to mark a song with an icon such as a star. When the song has an icon associated with it, the star icon in the menu bar is enabled. Translation: We made pretty stars so you can pretend you're organized.

Song Editor

This icon opens the song editor. The song editor allows you to make changes to the song's chords, lyrics, & metadata as well as tools to assist you in editing songs, or even writing them from scratch. Congratulations, you're a songwriter now. No talent required.

Annotations Menu

This icon looks like a sticky note & allows you to easily add sticky notes or drawings to your chord chart. These can help remind you of things such as who starts the song or how it is played. ZOMG, it's like Post-its but digital & way more complicated.

Style Preferences Menu

This icon looks like a series of sliders & allows you to quickly change how your song sheet looks & acts. In this menu you can change font sizes & styles, highlight colors, & transpose/capo the song. You can also turn portions of the song on & off such as the header, lyrics, chords, tablature, & whether the capo should be applied. Make it pretty. Make it bigger. Make it stop hurting your eyes. We got you, fam.
