Edit Metadata Layout

This screen chooses the fields to show above the lyrics, both on screen and on a printed page. Open it with Edit Metadata Layout under Metadata Format.

Available Fields

To select a field, drag it from the list into a layout (on-screen or printed). Each field can appear once in each layout. Blank is a spacer, which can be used more than once.

The fields are Title, Subtitle, Artist, Copyright, Tags, Year, Original Key, True Key, Capo Key, Keys, Capo, Time, Tempo, Tempo in Time, Duration, Flow, and Blank.

After selecting fields, drag them to rearrange, and double-tap to remove.

Checkboxes indicate "Show when empty", which keeps the field even when the song has no value for it. For example, when Capo is checked, then "No Capo" is displayed for a zero capo; when not checked, a zero capo disappears from the layout.

On-screen Layout

The two columns are Left Top and Right Top. Each side can hold any number of fields.

Printed Layout

The Print using on-screen layout switch uses the on-screen arrangement for PDFs. Turn the switch off to edit Printed Layout on its own

Leave the screen with the back arrow. Both layouts are saved as you leave.
