| · | The headers for each item From this list, select the option that best describes how your input file is arranged. There are three options: defined on the first line of the file, where the first line might contain a list of fields, such as "Title", "Key", "Tempo", etc; defined on the first field of each line, where each line is a separate item, such as "Title = The Victory is the Lord's"; and do not exist; fields are in the order below, where the items are simply in a particular order for the song.
|
| · | Field-delimiting character Fields can be separated by certain characters. Common characters are tabs, spaces, equal signs, commas, line breaks, or colon characters. The program needs to know how to break up the imported data so it can find the items of each song.
|
| · | Fields are quoted Some data file formats place quote marks around each item, like this: Title="Holy Holy Holy". Checking this box tells the program to remove quote marks from each item.
|
| · | Convert line breaks to carriage returns Some programs, when exporting text, convert the normal end-of-line characters (carriage returns) to line breaks. If your imported data is appearing as one long line, try checking this option.
|
| · | This header item The nine text blocks below this heading allow you to define how each item is titled. For a line like "Writer=John Doe", a valid header item would be "Writer". These text blocks are not available for all import types.
|
| · | Is imported into this song variable The nine lists below this heading allow you to choose to which song property a given item is assigned. For instance, "Writer=John Doe" would suggest that you assign Writer to the song property called Words By or perhaps Composer, or maybe "Speed=125" would suggest you assign Speed to the song property called Tempo. At the bottom of each list are two special cases: Discard, and Ignore. Discard literally throws away the field associated with a given header. Ignore adds any field with a given header to the "Add everything else to" setting (see below).
|
| · | Add everything else to After all defined fields are added, any remaining data, including any fields marked "Ignore", is added to this song property. Usually this will be the lyrics and chords.
|
| · | Multiple songs per File, delimited by The data to be imported may have more than one song in the file. This setting tells Worship LIVE! how to know when a new song is starting.
|
| · | Save template Once you get a useful setup on the import dialog, click this button to save all the Import settings for later use.
|
| · | Load template Click this button to load a previously stored setup for the Import dialog.
|
| · | Open button: Click this button to select a source file (or all files in a source folder) to import.
|
| · | Save button: Click this button to select a destination folder where the program will save the imported file(s).
|
| · | Import all files in folder Check this option to import all the files of the selected type in the source folder.
|
| · | Song Data as Imported From this list and text area, you can see how the selected file and settings will work. The song properties are shown in the list, and the text area contains the imported lyrics and chords.
|
| · | Test When you click Test, the selected file will be imported using the current settings, and the results shown in the Song Data as Imported sample. Nothing is saved to disk.
|
| · | Import Now When you click Import Now, the program imports all the songs from the source folder or file, and saves them to the destination folder.
|
| Before you import a song, set the default font from the Fonts tab of the Preferences dialog. This way, you will not have to open each song and change its font later.
