I don't understand.

Are you using a dual display system or only one display that shows the Show Display while a song is playing, and the Playlist when a song isn't playing?

Or, are you saying somehow the "next songs" in the Playlist are blanking out while the Show Display appears on a second monitor?

Please give us more details (screens, fields, what you do, your setup, etc.) so we can help you out, or identify if there is a bug.

What system are you running? Wouldn't happen to be vista would it? I'm scared to try anything new after the 4.04-vista mess. Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

i have windows xp., have all the updates except for sp3 ,i added about 10 songs on the playlist and have it on auto, played a song and none showed up in the viewer screen, and also when you resized the viewer screen to a full view, the host ( my screen ) i am unable to move or re-sized the screen, i have to re-sized both screen before i play a song.. other than that everything works fine, video is excellent, no lagging everything is in sync...

Do you have your singers list hidden on your display screen, also your song must be enabled to view on the display screen as well go to your tools and then Display screen and see if these are checked it just might be a minor thing.

You should be able to move it to the other screen if it isn't in full screen. Then double click on it to get it to full screen on secondary.
Just to note when you have a window in full screen the resize capability is disabled.
To set the playlist for the lyrics screen (singers screen) open Show Display and change the SND settings at the bottom of the Lyrics tab.

I normally don't use the name of the song feature myself but just enabled it and works like a charm. Hope it helps. I have it set 1 line 2 singers So it doesn't take to much space and set to the bottom of my screen. Haven't seen any nasties so far with 4.05 What about the Video I don't use them but I would love to hear from somebody that does to know if this is working for them so when I do get my Vista back If ever I will know if I can add video without worry if I decide to use any.

Not sure I directed your question To Jim Maybe He can give a little insight on that. I more than sure he can help with the other with the display.

Hey Billy,
Here's what I do. Go to The Show Diplay Settings Lyrics tab and set the "# Singer Lines" to 3. Set the "Singer/Line" to 1. You will have to so this on the Lyrics tab and on the Intemission tab. You will have to set the font size and type (do not use arial black) for every SND setting in both screens.

This is more work that 3.XX but it allows every user to customize the displays specifically for their show. Play around with it. Once it is set, it's done.

I hope this helps.

Jim
