Automatic style level switching

3/20/2022

6 Comments

 
This article lists the VideoPsalm screen areas where, when clicked, automatically switch the style level accordingly.

VideoPsalm uses the concept of cascading style attributes, enabling you to define in the fewest clicks the style at any level : Verse, Song, Songbook, Songbooks, Base, etc.

Example with the “Song” style level
When you are about to change, let's say, the background for the whole song, verify the “Styles” group, in the top toolbar, at the left.
There will be a drop-down menu to select the style level.
Make sure you select “Song”, that way all the changes for background will apply to the whole song (all song verses):

As long as the style level stays on “Song”, all style changes that you do (font, color, animation, background, etc.) will apply to the whole song (to all its verses).

To help you quickly switch to a specific style level, instead of selecting it in the style drop down #1, simply click the corresponding areas, highlighted from #2 to #6 in the screenshot below.
The currently selected style level is highlighted with #1:

The areas #2 to #6, when clicked, switch the style level #1 accordingly:

# Icon When you click: The following style level gets automatically selected:
2 A song in the agenda Song
3 The “Songbooks” button Songbooks
4 A songbook in the songbooks tree Songbook
5 A song in its songbook Song
6 A song verse in the slide panel Song verse

To help you see the style level automatically change, VideoPsalm displays a flyout whenever it happens:

At your convenience, you can tell VideoPsalm, in its options, to not display the flyout:

Is there any way to disable the automatic switching? Either completely or from certain areas? I don't ever want it to change to Verse, and I find it annoying that it does so and I keep having to change it back. :) If I could just make it never automatically switch to the lowest level (Verse or Bible Verse) that'd be great for me.

Thanks.

I agree, I never want it set to verse and I have to remember constantly to check that it's still set to song. An option to lock it to a specific level would be great.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your suggestion, it is now implemented in the 1.27 beta version available here (starting October 13. 2022):

In the VideoPsalm options, you can lock VideoPsalm to a specific level (in the "Songbooks" and "Bibles" tabs).
