Improving preview on stage monitor #527

Open ricardomvalverde opened 2 years ago

It is a complement to issue #354.

Issue 354 mentions the preview of the first line of the next verse, which matches with my enhancement idea, but besides that, I suggested to preview the next item title, when there is no text after line break. It's my experience with Easyworship and it is very useful to who is at stage conducting the service. Looking at the confident monitor he knows exactly what is upcoming.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, and worse when you are not fluent...

I took some pictures on Sunday from the confident monitor with a very old EWS version (2009). The case I mentioned that aids who is conducting the service (the order of service has all liturgy, not only songs)

Last verse of the song and the next in order of service is a prayer moment. What is viewed in main monitor used to operate EWS: image

And what is viewed at confident monitor (At the end of the song, main projector is set to black while stage monitor see the picture below): image

The case I mentioned that aids the singers (vocal), when the projection focus is not on the last slide

At the bottom ("....Digno és o Senhor" is the first line of the next verse) image

As the media isn't projected on stage monitor, it is a good solution also to display on the bottom of the slide, while the media is projected on main monitor, a countdown with the time left to finish the media.
