A song has several properties which help distinguish it from other songs. All these properties are stored both in the song file and also in the database index file.

The only required information is a title, tempo and key; the tempo and key will default to Medium and A.

Some of these properties include:

·	Title (the common title of the song, freely editable)

·	Key (the standard set of major and minor keys)

·	Tempo (Slow, Medium or Fast, sometimes shown as S, M or F)

·	Topic (useful for arranging songs in the library; freely editable)

·	Comment (only appears on printouts; freely editable)

·	Music By (shown on printouts and projection; freely editable)

·	Words By (shown on printouts and projection; freely editable)

·	Copyright (shown on printouts and projection; freely editable)

·	CCLI License Number (shown on printouts and projection; must be numeric)

·	Chording Style (either English, Latin, or Jazz)

·	Wrap Text (whether the song text is automatically wrapped to fit the display or printout, or rather scaled in size to fit)

·	Copies Printed (automatically incremented when the song is printed)

·	Last Printed (automatically incremented when the song is printed)

·	Copies Projected (automatically incremented when the song is projected)

·	Last Projected (automatically incremented when the song is projected)

·	Multimedia File (the associated multimedia file for this song; only a reference to the location on disk)

·	Sequence (the order in which verses/choruses are intended to be played or sung)
