A slide that comes up too early is much worse than one that comes up a moment late. Everything about how ScreenShepherd behaves follows from that.

​
What that means on a Sunday

Nobody needs to sit watching it. It is not something to supervise. When it is unsure it stops moving, and a slide sitting still is something you would notice anyway. You drive ProPresenter exactly as you always have. ScreenShepherd never takes the desk off you, so there is nothing to take back. Press next whenever you like and it comes with you. Stopping it never stops ProPresenter. Press Stop and you are back to running the service by hand, exactly as before. Sometimes you will press next yourself, usually when the band goes round a chorus again. That is it choosing to wait rather than guess.

​
Song changes

ScreenShepherd follows any song change you make in ProPresenter, straight away. It can also change song by itself, when a song finishes or when the band starts a different one. If it picks the wrong one, choose the right song in ProPresenter. It follows you straight away, and it will leave that song alone for a while afterwards.

​
Long instrumentals

During a long instrumental with nobody singing, the words come off the screen. They come back as soon as someone sings again. Nothing to do.
