Transitions and Verse Tagging
In the last few weeks a number of requested features have been added to the 2.x code base.
- Transitions where a song slide will fade into the next slide automatically. This option still needs to be made configurable as it is expected some people will not wish to use it or find it distracting.
- Verse tagging where each slide is given a tag eg Verse, Chorus, Bridge , Intro.
Verses will also be given a number as there can be many of them in a song!
It will then be possible to simply change the order of the verses, if required. One advantage of this is that each slide is only stored once but can be used may times>
For Example a verse list could look like:
V1 V2 C V3 C B V4 C V1
A Verse (V1) can be one or many slides, all tagged the same and treated as a block.

Just tested both out and they are working really well for it to be early on. Version 2.0 is looking to be one of the best (I think THE best) solutions out there paid for or open source.

Re: Transitions and Verse Tagging
A song can have two bridges and the chorus can differ as well.
Please make an option to write B1, B2, etc. for Bridge and C1, C2, etc. for chorus
Re: Transitions and Verse Tagging
I like transitions from the top down.
Slow readers may still busy reading the bottom of the last slide
while fast readers can start reading the top of the new slide.
It is also useful when the operator gets the timing wrong to the next slide.
S/he can then move earlier with less fear of being too fast.
