Projecting an Item Directly
Previous  Top  Next

Songs, Scriptures and announcements can all be projected directly, without addition to a playlist, but there are some limitations on this ability.
·To show a song directly, select it in the library and hit the F12 key, or use the Selected Song option from the Project menu.  
·To show a scripture directly, open the Scripture dialog, select the desired scripture and click the red Project button.  
·To show an announcement directly, open the Announcement dialog, select the desired scripture and click the red Project button.  

Songs and announcements will initially only show their first verse or page, and the appearance cannot be customized from the defaults selected in the Projection preferences. If you need to customize the format, add it to a playlist first.

If you are using the projection tools to instant-project songs, especially on a single-monitor computer, and you want to find another song to project, hit Ctrl-F, and the Find helper will appear in the lower right corner of the display:


Start typing a song title, and the list will follow your typing. Once you find the song you wish, use the cursor keys or mouse to select the appropriate title, then hit Enter or double-click the title with the mouse. The selected song will immediately be projected, just as if you had selected it for projection from the main list or the playlist. Please note that if the song has multiple verses, only the first verse will be projected.

To make the find helper disappear if you decide not to project another song, simply hit Ctrl-F again.
