Editing Songs

Editing a song is much like using any word processor. Type or paste in your song lyrics and chords. You can cut, paste, copy and delete text to and from other sources. You can also use the commands on the song Edit and Format menus to change the formatting, add color, change text alignment, and more.

On the song Edit menu are several commands for verse markers. These commands add paragraph marks (¶) to the text. A paragraph mark has special meaning as the beginning of a song verse, and any line starting with a paragraph mark will be used as a header for a verse when the song is added to the playlist or projected.

One special feature of editing a song in Worship LIVE! is quite different from a word processor. The "smart chord wrapping" feature is designed to make it easier to work with alternating lines of chords and lyrics. It is enabled if "Intelligently wrap chord lines above lyric lines" is selected in the Chord Format preferences. Whenever you manually wrap a line of chords by hitting the enter key, and the line immediately above the edited line contains only chords, both the lyrics and chords will be wrapped together at the same horizontal location. The chords will be kept with the lyrics, so the two lines are treated as a unit instead of two separate lines.
