Weve used Opensong at our church for nearly 5 years, and I'm happy with the
program overall.
My first suggestion was mentioned in a previous post I believe...being able to
edit slides while presenting. Yes, I can add songs and scriptures while
presenting, but often I need to correct or add something in a slide while I'm
presenting, and I have to exit the presentation to do it. It would a much
better transition to edit in presentation.
Another feature that would be nice is being able to present the same scripture
in two languages on the same screen. At times there are english and spanish
speaking individuals in the congregation, and it would be nice to have the
option to do something of that sort.
Lastly, a small glitch ive noticed: Usually I keep my scripture settings to
show 2 verses per slide, and the max characters per slide at 500. When the 2
scriptures together exceed 500 characters, it only shows the first scripture.
And when I click to move to the next scripture, it skips the 2nd one and goes
to the 3rd. Say I'm presenting Proverbs 2, verses 1-4, with the settings
above. Say verses 1 and 2 together exceed 500 characters. It will present
verse 1 by itself, then when I insert the next scripture, it skips verse 2 and
goes to verses 3-4...because it was set to show two verses at once, but they
were too large.
I dont know if this is right place to post these things or whether they've
already been addressed in 2.0 (since I'm speaking of 1.7), but here it is.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
