I don't like the new Singer Name Display Hoster 4

I don't know if it is a matter of my settings but every time that a song ends the SND shows the singer names without the song titles and the time. As soon as the next song starts it appears again. This is normal? Any help or comments on that one?

When the song stops playing you are seeing the Intermission screen, not the lyric screen. In the Show Display Setup, click on the Intermission tab and set your Singer Name Diplay for the Intermission screen. Then click Apply or just close the window.

Under Tools up top you have a tool called Show Display. The Show display has several tabs Lyrics, Intermission, Audio, Video and Preview.
Read through the manual in the Menu-Tools section and there is a detailed description of how to set the displays the way you want it to be.

Beavis are you talking about the Intermission screen won't stay?
At the bottom of the Tools menu is a line "Automatic Display". Click it. That will set it to show.

AM/PM is not set up to be retained as the elapsed time is. This means that that will only show if you use it for the Lyrics screen. Set the Intermission screen to elapsed time and it will show.

So I can set the Intermission screen to elapsed time and the lyrics screen to AM/PM. Elapsed time will show in beteeen singers and real time will show while the singer is singing.

Hi Folks, I'd greatly appreciate if when you are looking in the manual, if you don'f find what you are looking for, please ask it in a new Forum Thread with "Manual" in the Title.

Thanks!

Maybe it is just a matter of getting use to it

Since with Hoster 3 I can move around the SND and the new does not allow it.

But again, maybe as I start to use it more I'll get use to it.

Having trouble understanding the manual section on marquee. I don't want marquee or scrolling words. The only thing I want is want the last version allowed me to do, and that is to show my desktop logo between songs. How do I "retro grade"?

In the Show Display do the following:
The Marquee can be hidden on all the screens by clicking the "Hide button" on each in the marquee section.
To show your "desktop logo" add that as the graphic in the middle portion of the Intermission screen. You can also hide the SND if you don't use that.

Ask and ye shall receive.
I have been beta testing this program for months, so have tried to get familiar with everything about it.
