Stage Monitor Needs More Options

When adjusting the display "boxes" for presenter you only get a spot for time, alerts, current slide and next slide. The problem is that we don't sing our songs in one particular order. So our songs could end up in any order and many of our songs have more than 2 or 3 verses, some even having up to 6 verses. The problem is not being able to see more than only 1 verse at a time. Would it be possible to add the ability to add in additional boxes to show future verses?

Hi Greg,

Thanks for submitting the feature request. The Stage Display is meant to be a point of reference with which whoever is on stage can see what the audience sees right now, and what they'll see next so that everyone in the room can be on the same page. For example, if the person on stage forgets what they're supposed to sing or talk about next, they can reference the Stage Display to preview the next slide. This does mean that when creating your slides, you'll want to make sure they're ordered in the way you intend on singing them on Sunday so that you're not thrown off when you see the wrong verse in the wrong place on the Stage Display.

If you're looking for a resource for the musicians, I would recommend using the Worship Extreme Music Stand mobile app, which works and Android and Apple phones and tablets. The band can pull up their sheets on Music Stand, and can view just lyrics, or lyrics and chords (given that you have a SongSelect account, or manually add those songs/files). That will allow them to view all the verses and choruses on one-two pages.

Hey Joann thanks so much for the quick reply! I understand what you are saying that it's just a reference. The idea behind it is to keep our singers from staring at a tablet (so their eyes face forward and now down - haha). I was just suggesting that it would be nice to be able to add a box that can be associated with the verses or bridge to that song. If I could add a box to the layout that says "V1" then maybe it could auto fill to whatever slide has that particular label. Hope that makes sense.

Sure :) I left your submission open because it's certainly something that we can keep in mind. Just commented to make sure you were aware of the available alternative to your request. Thanks, Greg!
