Everything here is on the general tab.
How it starts
Taking the words off during instrumentals
take the words off the screen after (some seconds).
During a long instrumental, when nobody is singing, the lyrics can come off the
screen on their own. They come straight back as soon as someone sings.
Choose never to switch it off entirely.
Tell your operator about this one before their first Sunday. Words
disappearing from the congregation’s screen is alarming if you are not
expecting it, and it is easy to think something has broken.
Shortcut keys
Also on this tab. See Shortcut keys.
Microphone
Shows whether macOS is letting ScreenShepherd listen.
If it says access denied, press open system settings and allow
ScreenShepherd under privacy & security.
Running setup again
setup → run setup again takes you back through the first-time
walkthrough. Useful when the audio setup changes, or when you are showing
someone new how it works.
Advanced
developer console turns on extra tabs showing a lot of detail about what
ScreenShepherd is doing.
It is there for whoever looks after the install, for setting up and working out
problems. Leave it off for a Sunday — it is a lot to look at, and none of
it is anything an operator needs to act on.
About
At the bottom of the tab:
- software update — new versions install on their own, the next time you
open the app. This button checks straight away if you would rather not wait.
Nothing downloads while ScreenShepherd is listening.
- session records — show in finder opens the folder of past services.
- engine — restart the engine if listening has stopped responding.
