Search Question

[TheMusicGeek]

I just upgraded to 5.06 and I have two things I can't seem to figure out. First is there any way to turn off the Singer search and box feature so it just searches for songs. I can see the benefit in this if you do the same location over and over but here the local clubs have either dropped karaoke or gone to the guys who download the music off the internet and charge $100.00 a night. All I do anymore is private parties, weddings, concerts, etc.

Second, when I click on "show fields" the field boxes pop up over top covering the book id, title, artist, brand, etc. When I search for a song this is reversed and the fields are under the other bar. After that the only way to bring it back is to click on hide fields then show fields. Resizing the window makes no difference.

Afraid you can't just hide the singers list, apart from sizing it as small as possible and hiding it under the search dialog.
As to the other problem, what screen resolution are you using ?

[TheMusicGeek]

Thanks. The problem turned out not to be the resolution but the "Make it easier to read what's on your screen" feature in the display settings. It was set to medium. Changing it to small solved the problem. Of course now I can't read the **** thing but that's a middle age problem.

The singer thing would be doable if it wouldn't always try to prepopulate a singers name.

Another idea for now with the singers screen if you really don't want to see it, drag it to either the very top or below the task bar so it is almost off screen. I should leave a small piece visable incase you ever wanted to drag it back at some time.

The problem really isn't the window as much as the prepopulation of the singers name. Since Karaoke is probably less than half of a show (the rest being DJ) every time I call up search for a DJ song it populates a singers name in and I have to manually clear it. If I do a Karaoke song and put a singers name it it will stay there for the next song be it DJ or Karaoke.

Create a singers name, Some examples: Audio or hit the spacebar to create a space, then select any old song and press S+ button. That will create a singer with either Audio showing or a blank space in the song list.
Just remember to hit the spacebar once in the singers name field before adding an Audio or video to the playlist.
