Does anyone know if there is a way to preview the lyrics for the next song? I know the next song title appears on the agenda but is there a way to also see the lyrics for the next song before displaying them? Sometimes the person running our computer doesn't know what the lyrics are only based on the title. When we begin singing the next song, sometimes they're not sure if the lyrics are somewhere in the current song or in the next song. We used to use OpenLP and it supported this preview feature. Thanks!

To preview a song:
Click on the song in the agenda, or in its songbook.
VideoPsalm displays the song verses in the slide panel (at the top right), with its lyrics.
This doesn't produce any changes to the presentation screen, nor to the preview panel (at the bottom right).
Use the slide panel scrollbars to scroll up and down the slides.
Do not click on a slide, as this will display the slide in the preview panel (at the bottom right) and more importantly, in the presentation screen.
When you are finished previewing your song slides, click the currently displayed song. You need to remember which song it is.
VideoPsalm will highlight the currently displayed slide in a specific color, so that you know where to click for the next song verse.
This is good enough most of the Time.
If during the presentation, you need to fully preview a slide, i.e. to see how it really looks like on the presentation screen (font, color, background, etc.), proceed as follows:
1. Click the "Snow flake" button:
When active, the "Snow flake" button freezes the presentation screen.
2. Click the slides that you need to preview.
VideoPsalm will show the slide in the preview panel, and keep the presentation screen as it was when you pressed the "Snow flake" button.
3. When you are finished previewing slides, preview/click the slide that is currently displayed in the presentation screen.
4. Release the "Snow flake" button.
Videopsalm will display the currently previewed slide in the presentation screen.
Does this work for you?
