Settings in the App

Press this button to access the settings.

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

More settings can be found below, grouped by topic.

When you turn on the "Live Mode" switch, most settings are hidden and many things that are not needed in live operation are disabled. This ensures that SongBook is protected against accidental editing during the performance.

SongBook+ automatically adjusts the language to the one set on the iPad. If you prefer another language, you can 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, specifically in the device's "Settings" app.

These are mainly privacy settings related to the permission for SongBook+ to use certain hardware or operating system functions.

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

The answer is then 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 "Apps" entry.

Select the "Apps" entry.

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

Open the "Apps" entry.

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+ does not have the permission to read the device name set in the operating system.

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

It's best to change this random device designation to a device name that makes sense to you right away.
