App Settings

Press this button to access the settings.

Some important settings can be found at the top in the first section.

Further settings can be found below, grouped by topic.

If you turn on the "Live Mode" switch, most settings will be hidden and many features that aren't necessary during live performance will be disabled. This way, SongBook is protected against accidental editing during the performance.

SongBook+ automatically adjusts the language to the language set on the iPad. If you prefer a different language, you will find a corresponding setting in the "Other" section.

Settings in the Operating System

A few settings for SongBook+ can also be found in the operating system, in the device's "Settings" app.

These are mainly privacy settings for granting SongBook+ permission to use certain hardware or operating system features.

When you use certain functions of SongBook+ for the first time that require such a permission, the operating system will ask if SongBook+ is allowed to do so.

The response will then be saved in the settings. From that moment on, you can find this permission in the settings and change it there.

Open the "Settings" app on the iPad/iPhone.

Scroll down on the left side to the entry "Apps."

Select the entry "Apps."

Scroll down on the right side to the entry "SongBook."

Open the entry "Apps."

At the top, you will see permission settings, for example, access to the local network, Bluetooth, the camera, etc.

Here you can change the device name that SongBook+ uses for SongBook to SongBook connections and for backups.

Note on Point 7:

Unfortunately, SongBook+ doesn't have permission to read the device name set in the operating system.

Instead, SongBook+ generates a random device name on the first start (consisting of some letters and numbers, e.g., 67AAFB6C) and enters it here.

It's best to change this random device designation to a device name that is meaningful to you.
