 ===== Software Used =====
-We use [[http://www.opensong.org|OpenSong]] to project and currently each projectionist uses their own laptop. If you would like to project and do not have a Windows, Mac, or *nix computer, one can be made available for use on Sunday morning, but you will not be able to practice during the week.

-===== Song and Scripture File Location =====
+==== Worship Tools Presenter Program Setup ====
-The files used for lyrics and scripture are stored in the church's Google Drive account. Please see Scott to get access to the files. All changes made to a song are automatically distributed to each of the laptops, so everyone has a current version. Don't store any other files in the OpenSong directory to prevent these from propagating to the other computers.
+Settings for Presenter are found by clicking the 'gear' icon in the upper right of the program and then choosing **Settings**.

-===== Fixing Problems =====
+===== Song Selection =====
+All songs must be in CCLI's catalog. You can search their catalog at [[https://us.search.ccli.com/|CCLI Song Search]]. Please enter the CCLI number for each song you add to OpenSong. If a song is not Public Domain or in CCLI we cannot use it for worship.

+===== Song Formatting =====
+Here are some guidelines from the [[https://blog.proclaimonline.com/2015/08/26/5-tips-for-better-song-slides/|Proclaim Website]].
+  * **Limited lines per slide**: As a rule of thumb, try to limit slides to 2-4 lines, 5 at most.
+  * **Sans Serif font**: Stick to san-serif fonts. Some common examples of san-serif fonts are Arial, Calibri, and Verdana. An example of a non-serif font is Times Roman, Georgia, and Bookman.
+  * **White text over black**: The projector’s brightest light is white, so white will always be the most visible color.
+  * **Lose the labels**: We prefer a good arrangement of slides instead of writing out the labels like //Verse//, //Chorus//, //Bridge// and //Instructions// like //Repeat 2x// and so on. We prefer the worship leader to dictate the flow of the song as opposed to the slides themselves.
+  * **No punctuation**: We prefer a clean looking slide and //usually// don’t use any punctuation. No commas, exclamation points, or periods. Since the melody usually dictates the flow of the words, there is not much need for punctuation. Use your judgment as this is personal preference more than a rule but we prefer the cleaner look.
+===== Cue List Naming =====
+Name the Cue List using a ''YYYY MM DD Leader'' format where Leader is the name of the person leading worship that day.
