Find Song Window This screen is used to perform a custom search for songs meeting up to sixteen different specific criteria. For example, you can ask to list only songs that are in the key of C on the topic of grace. As you specify additional search criteria, the stats title at the top of this screen gives an updated count of the total number of songs that meet the chosen criteria.

Play Song Toolbar The Play Song Toolbar is used to play and select the part, key, and tempo of the song. The start, pause, resume, and stop functions are also integrated into the toolbar.

Lyrics and Notes Presentation The ability to project both the lyrics and notes is one of the most sought after features in churches today. This new feature allows your church to do just that for all the songs in the Songs of Faith and Praise hymnal. Not only does it project the song with the notes (conventional or shaped), but prior to each song is a slide that features the Song Title, Copyright Information, Page Number, and CCLI number. Just select the songs you want and away you go, no copying and pasting. Everything is right there at your fingertips!

Lyrics Presentation Lyrics Presentation works very similar to Lyrics and Notes Presentation, using song Lyrics only. It includes additional options to customize your presentation with pictures and background images or use your own background images. Formatting can be applied to all the slides in a presentation or to the slides of the current song or just the current slide.

Announcement Presentation The ability to create announcements, sermon outlines, birthday wishes. etc. right along with the song presentation.
