Hi All;
I'm not very enamored by the changes in Song service items. In the Summer, we have been meeting in the park that is adjacent to our building. Because we don't have the budget for huge TVs to show song lyrics, we create a content item that has the lyrics so people can follow along on their devices.
Now the problem that the new changes have caused. We put a Song service item into the presentation that has the Title only. This way the song will be listed in the CCLI report at the end of the year. Our Worship leader loaded songs this week by using the Reuse function. Unfortunately, she loaded one of those Summer songs. Now EVERY instance of that song is Lyrics only.
This change ruins one of Proclaim's best feature, the Reuse item.

I'm sorry, what happened was that she pulled one up that had been from last summer. The songs in summer have Title only, so it shows on our CCLI report. The custom song order was removed from all versions because this one, that was formatted with Title only got used. What happens then is on Sunday when they practice I have to spend time, when I am needed elsewhere, adding that order back, including blanks for musical interludes etc.- Gotcha, thanks for the clarity. I do think that is a bug.. > The custom song order was removed from all versions because this one That should not have happened. that means reusing the old one, altered your current arrangement. I'll do some tests on my side and see if it happens for me. If that was fixed, she could accidentally choose any song item from reuse items and you will always have the up to date arrangement. Moving forward, for your few special occasions, (summer, Christmas, holy week) you can add special arrangements for those.
- Yeah, that was my plan to add special arrangements, the issue for me is that it is back in my lap, and I have very little spare time . . . I'm a hospital Materials Manager and the supply chain issues are causing me to have to put in 50-60 hour weeks. It leaves very little time to prepare presentations and also have time for family.
