The Song Database is a program to show lyrics on a digital projector for worship in a congregation. It has the following properties:
- the program runs on nearly all systems because it is a Java application
- Dual Head (which means two graphic cards are required, or one with two outputs); this enables the user to have one control monitor to display the database and the presentation control while the seperate projection screen shows only the text the congregation has to see - no confusion, very professional
- more than one foil per song is possible
- show/hide the song title on foils
- guitar chords can be included in the database, but will not be shown when presenting songs - they are useful when printing song sheets for the band
- single songs can be printed or exported to PDF files (including chords if available)
- german and english user interface
- fonts and colors are customizable
- you can add remarks to every song
- the song beginnings can be shown in the song list (additionally to the song title) - you can find songs faster in spontaneous worship sessions
- find songs easily - type the first few characters of title or first line
- filter on title or text parts
- import formatted text from Word (chords are taken care of) via the clipboard
- import RTF files
The program has evolved through more than 5 years at my church. If you find a bug or a missing feature, please go and fix it, or at least drop me a line!
