Please help: the lyrics in our Live Stream tab are not always updating with the Slides tab and the wrong song lyrics are sent to our Live Stream.
Like many of you, we duplicate the previous week's service for the coming week. To update our songs, I go to the Slides (Lyrics) tab of each song and type the new title in the title bar of the song and choose the new song/arrangement.
Until recently, the lyrics in all tabs - Slides, Live Stream and Confidence - would always update perfectly in lock step. Now it is unpredictable.
Is there some way I can improve my workflow so I don’t have to double-check the Live Stream tab for unexpected differences with our main slides?
Is there a reason the Live Stream tab does not always update with the Slide tab?
- if you've done any editing in the lower thirds screen (say combining two lines so they fit better or even correcting a typo), the lower thirds will no longer take edits from the slides screen (presumably to keep you from over-writing your edits. Fix is, like suggested above, to "restore text." There is another possible problem (that it took me months to figure out, lol)... if you have added custom song parts to the slides section since editing the lower thirds screen, those won't be added either! We had started adding some custom song parts to project info to the team using the chord chart function (e.g. LONG instrumental instead of just "instrumental") and didn't think about the fact that those needed to be added to the lower thirds slides as well or it wouldn't sync right. simple fix: copy the song parts over. Or restore text and it works the same (but you will have to redo any formatting/editing you already had done.
- Same here. Edit the song in Main screen and when it's finally done do your power thirds. And watch out for a sneaky carriage return at the end

Thank you friends... this is it!! At some point, I must have edited our first song's lower-thirds because it is always that song that does not update. I keep duplicating our services (as most of us do), but what I now see is that I also kept duplicating a song where the lower-third tab was disconnected from the main Slide. I will Restore Text and, hopefully, it will bring this song back into sync. Thank you all for your responses!!
