Release Notes

OnSong 1.982

OnSong 1.982 was released on March 9, 2014. It is a major update with some great new features and performance improvements.

New!

  • Draw and highlight your chord chart!

    Tap on the annotations icon and choose the new Drawing add-on for $1.99. You can use a highlighter or pen and have full undo/redo and layer management too.

  • Integrate with Planning Center Online

    Connect to your Planning Center Online account to browse upcoming plans.
    Import a plan and choose the arrangement that works for you.
    You can even import songs directly from your songs library.

  • Faster Set Performance

    We've rewritten the way sets are loaded to make viewing sets faster.
    We've been able to remove the 32 song soft limit. Finally!

  • Print Set Lists

    In the print preview screen, tap on the icon in the lower left to switch between printing your song pages or a list.
    You can even customize what columns you'd like to output in the options menu.

  • Heads-Up Display

    Swipe the title of the song in the menubar to reveal different "heads-up display" modes.
    Options include song title, song and set title, current song and next song,
    elapsed time for songs and sets and playback volume and routing.

  • Pitch Pipe

    Configure an action to a foot pedal, hot corner or navigation zone and choose "Playback Pitch".
    OnSong will play the key of the song as a chord, sounding each note in turn until the chord has been completed.
    In addition, you can use the new "Pitch:" metatag to choose a custom pitch or pitch progression to be played.

  • Map MIDI to Sections

    Tap and hold a section of the song (verse, chorus, bridge, etc) and set MIDI events to be sent.
    Tap on the section or use a foot pedal to select the section and send your custom MIDI events.
    Requires the MIDI add-on for $3.99

  • More Powerful MIDI Editor

    We've spent time making a more powerful and consistent MIDI editor throughout the app.
    If you have the MIDI add-on, you can map MIDI events to load songs, or to be sent when the song is loaded.
    Send MIDI by pressing a foot pedal, selecting a section, or tapping a hot corner or navigation zone.

Changes

  • Changed Italian notation to appear as do ré mi fa sol la si when the French language is used.
  • Changed the MIDI editor to use the same editor throughout the app.
  • Changed how search bars are shown in both low light and normal mode.
  • Changed the grid view background to have rounded corners.
  • Changed the size of the chord inspector to have better margins.
  • Changed the chord diagrams to not invert when selected.
  • Changed the shadow slider in the external video menu to adjust by 1% when tapping icons.
  • Changed all lists and screens to have a consistent style in both normal and low light mode.
  • Changed the "Use my version" and "Use the shared song" to better align with options below.
  • Changed iOS 7 to bold the first line of text in lists by default.
    This is configurable in Utilities » Editors » Navigation » Screens » Menubar » Bolder Menu Titles
  • Changed the Next/Previous Slide action to use the expanded version of the song configured in Flow.
  • Changed the metronome to allow custom minimum and maximum BPM.
    This is configured in Settings » Metronome » Audio Settings » Minimum/Maximum BPM.
  • Changed the viewer to stop rendering ahead/behind on a set when a memory error is received. For instance, if the user is navigating a set and too much memory is being used, the next song in the set will not be visible during page flipping. Once a new set is select, that resumes until a memory warning is encountered. This provides for a graceful degradation to conserve memory.
  • Changed the section titles in menus to be white when in low light mode.

Updates

  • Updated system icons for exported file types.
  • Updated language translation files.

Added

  • Added the ability to send and receive all types of MIDI events such as note and control events.

  • Added the ability to swipe the title of the song viewer to use different heads-up display options such as the set name, next song and elapsed time.
  • Added the ability to toggle hiding the status bar on iOS 7 when the menubar is hidden.
    This can be configured in Utilities » Editors » Navigation » Screen » Menubar » Hides Statusbar.
  • Added the ability to set MIDI send events to specific sections. To set this, tap and hold on the section in the chord chart with MIDI enabled. Add your events and close. Tapping or selecting the section with a foot pedal will send those MIDI events.
  • Added the ability to turn off the "." shortcut in the song editor. It is turned on by default.
    This can be configured in Settings » Editor Options » Enable "." Shortcut.
  • Added the ability to lowercase chord letters for minor chords, separating this from the German chord localization.
    This can be configured under Settings » Instrument Settings » Lowercase Minor Chords.
