Details of some features Modules Allows the creation of solutions using JavaScript that interact with various program resources, allowing you to change and/or adapt the program's operation, create buttons that execute customized actions, real-time triggers, among other possibilities, all in one place Solutions can be easily shared through a single JavaScript code (or saved as a file) and also made available in the program for other users to add ready-made solutions, through the online repository JSLib - Compatibility with websocket connections via simple string (instead of json) and the possibility of creating tcp connections that keep the connection active. This allows the implementation of other specific protocols and communication with other programs, such as QLC, MTQQ, Soundcraft, etc. - Arrow Function Although the system uses ECMA 5.1 as a base, a real-time parser was implemented to allow the use of Arrow Functions in the JavaScript codes used in the program.

Details of some features Holyrics Plan Synchronization The program's native "share" option (Holyrics Plan, not Google Drive) is now synchronized in real time. Unlike before, it was necessary to access the window and upload/download items manually. It continues to share only basic data: song lyrics, playlist, services, events, etc. This change to automatic synchronization will allow the implementation of the "Holyrics Plan" app that will be available in the future. Allowing access to Holyrics Plan account data in real time via cell phone. And it will also allow editing via the app (create or edit song lyrics, scale, etc.) and, consequently, the app edits will also be automatically synchronized in the computer program "Telegram Files" functionality With a Holyrics Plan subscription, the user has an option to create a custom Telegram bot for use in the Holyrics ecosystem. The Telegram Files functionality allows users to send files to your personalized bot, and you can access these files directly through the program window, making it convenient to organize and receive files from other people that will be displayed in the Holyrics program. Limit of 20MB for sending the file directly in the chat. But you can send a Google Drive link in chat for larger files. Rename file Option to rename or move files (by right-clicking) in the program library by updating the references to the file used in the program. For example, if the file is added to the favorites bar, when you rename or move it, the reference in the favorites bar will also be updated. This avoids problems and errors when adding a file to some program functionality (favorites bar, for example) and, when renaming the file by the operating system, the previously added item continues to point to the previous name, giving a file not found error. Updated references: playlist (services and events), favorites bar, triggers, Input Param (script/api), event wallpaper Images in the videos tab It is possible to add images to the program's videos tab, so that the image behaves like a video, being displayed by VLC Player, for example. The default duration of an image played as a video is 10 seconds, which can be changed in the VLC Player settings (3 dots). And you can change the duration of each image individually by clicking the right mouse button on the image. Import a video or image file directly into a slide You can drag a video or image file from your computer directly onto a slide in the font (or text) editing window to use it as the slide's background. This is useful in cases where the user has videos or images ready for each paragraph of the song. For example, if someone makes a "lyric video" with animations, and cuts the video into paragraphs, they can add the video as a specific background for each corresponding paragraph. However, there is no need to add videos or images to the "my videos" or "my images" tab in the theme background window, preventing specific backgrounds from a song slide from being added and mixed with the themes' reusable backgrounds. "Context Action" functionality Enables the creation of scripts that receive information about a specific item that was executed. When you right-click on a video, for example, a submenu will appear with the available scripts. When selecting a script for action, the respective video will be sent as "obj" to the script to be executed. This script can, for example, run the video itself received as a parameter, and start a countdown based on the video's duration. Without necessarily creating a trigger for it. In practice, it allows the user to create custom actions for items in the program, which can be quickly executed on any item with the right mouse button. Redirect Custom Message to JavaScript The Custom Message option in the program has its own interface for "capturing" specific variables, to display pre-formatted texts. And it is compatible with the cell phone app. An option has been implemented that causes the action of "displaying" a "Custom Message" to be redirected to a script, instead of being displayed on the screen (or in the alert). This allows, for example, the user to create their own internal solutions that can receive information from the Holyrics mobile app itself, save this information and use it as necessary. For example, you can create a Custom Message called "Visitors", with the field "Name". Other people during the service can access the Holyrics app, in the Personalized Message tab, type their name and send it to Holyrics. By redirecting the message received from the app to a script, the script can save these names in an internal list via jslib, and then the program operator on the computer can display all the names in the list via jslib with some Script item created and added to favorites . JSLib - New "Input" types for JavaScript interfaces. button: allows you to create a button on the interface, which performs an action when clicked. It allows, for example, to create an interface that receives user input to perform a specific action and a "button" input that opens another interface with settings. So that it is not necessary to place several inputs in the same window label: displays text content (updatable). Allows you to generate some text for temporary result viewing, and also a "copy" icon to copy displayed content. - Added request option via TCP - Option to save content in TXT or XLSX

Details of some features Organize Themes and Backgrounds using tags To facilitate the organization and filtering of items, the option of tags was added. It is possible to create, for example, tags with the names: particle, water, blue, fire, etc... and this way, when selecting a theme or background, you can easily list only the items in the respective tag to find the desired item. It is also useful in the new features of the program, such as scripts and automation. Dynamically set background You can create rules to dynamically set background for music slides. For example, creating a rule where every slide that has the word 'rain' is defined with a random theme/video that has the tag rain. Every slide that has the word 'ocean', 'oceans' or 'sea' is defined with a random theme/video that has the tag sea. Set unique MIDI shortcuts Controlling music slides via MIDI is a feature that has been used more and more. However, to start the presentation of the lyrics, it was necessary that it was in the playlist to know the position of the item in the list and start the presentation via MIDI. With the MIDI shortcuts option, you can set a specific MIDI code and velocity for a song lyric. And that way you don't have to worry about adding it to the program's playlist, or what position in the list it is in. Just send the MIDI command (code/velocity) defined for the lyrics of the song and the program will start the presentation. This makes it easier, as you only need to set the song shortcut once in your track program, instead of constantly changing it according to the item's position in the playlist. [Slide Description] Paragraphs in sequence with no need to repeat In the lyric edit window, when defining a slide with a description, the following slides will also have the same description. For example:

Details of some features Cloud Sync via Google Drive You can log in to a Google account and use Google Drive storage space to sync all program data and files between different computers. Share Menu > Cloud Sync Data and files will be added, updated and deleted between all computers connected to the same account. Note: There is no user and/or password control for cloud synchronization. All computers synced to the same account will be able to add, change, or remove program files synced to the cloud. Automatic backup via Google Drive You can log into a Google account and use Google Drive storage space to automatically backup all program data and files. Tools Menu > Backup > Google Drive > Enable Auto Backup By enabling backup, the program will keep an online backup always up to date with every change to the program. You can restore a backup when needed: Tools Menu > Backup > Google Drive > Restore (Stage View) View all music slides Option to display the entire text of the song being performed on the return screen. You can also set different formatting for the current slide in view (or other slides). That way, even with the full text being displayed on the return screen, the portion of the slide currently being displayed will be highlighted. [PowerPoint] Quick verse display Option to be able to display a Bible verse in the projection without having to end the PowerPoint presentation being displayed by Holyrics. This can be done from the main window's presentation footer, by clicking on the 'show verse' button. To make it easier, the program automatically tries to identify some reference within each slide. In this way, in the presentation footer, by right-clicking on a slide that has some biblical reference, a shortcut will appear to display the particular verse. For example: If on the slide somewhere it says John 3:16 or Romans 12:2, then you can right-clicking on this slide in the footer of the presentation will show the option "Automatic Presentation" and the verse in the list of items to display.

Once translated, display the original text on the main projection and the translated text on another screen or multiple translations on the same screen. To use this feature it is necessary to access the advanced editor in the music/text editing window.

Details of some features [Telegram] 'Draw Lots', 'Poll' and 'Questions' features via Telegram It is possible to create these events in the program so that people can participate using Telegram itself. Participation is done using the chat @HolyricsBot. For example, create a poll through the program and tell participants the name of the poll. People will be able to vote by accessing the chat and you will be able to display the result in real time on the projection. [Presentation Footer] Change Theme functionality with option to change only current song when playing playlist In the presentation footer, when playing a playlist and changing the theme or background of slides during the presentation, all slides are changed by default. This option allows you to change the default operation to change only the slides of the currently playing music. [MIDI] Option to display the main window presentation footer when starting a presentation When starting a presentation remotely (as commands via MIDI) the presentation footer in the main program window is not displayed. Added an option in the MIDI window settings for the footer to be displayed when playing a song and to be controlled by the user if necessary.
20/06/2020 - v2.13.0
Details of some features [Wallpaper] Set a wallpaper for each searvice (file menu, settings) When setting a wallpaper for a service, the program will automatically use the service wallpaper selected in the main window's playlist. If there is no wallpaper set for the selected service, or if the temporary playlist is selected, the default wallpaper will be used. Note: The wallpaper displayed is not according to the time of service, but according to the service selected in the playlist of the main window. Note: It is also possible to set a wallpaper for each service in the wallpaper option of the bookmarks bar. [Schedule] Filter members for each role When editing the scale in role mode, the list of users that appear for each role is based on the group defined for the member and role, for example: If the guitar role is defined as the instrument group, all members of the instrument group appear in the list to be assigned to the guitar role. It is now possible to define which users of the instrument group will appear in the list to be cast in the guitar role. [Media] Basic audio, video and image editing Some editing tools will be available by right-clicking a media item in the main window tabs. It will also be available in the tools menu, several. [Video] Workaround to play videos with rotation not identified by the program Some videos (generally recorded by mobile) do not play correctly in the program as VLC Player does not identify the video rotation setting. A workaround has been implemented to avoid this unforeseen event, as in many cases this is only repaired at the time of use. If the program identifies that the video has a rotation setting defined in the "metadata" of the file, the video will be played externally by VLC Player directly in the operating system. Option to add a video as a slide background without using the "my videos" tab In the music editing window, to set a video as the background for a slide, you must first add it to the My Videos tab in the Themes background list. It is now possible to set a specific video as the background of a slide without adding it in the My Videos tab. Just drag the video file from the operating system folder (Windows Explorer, for example) to the top of the slide. Note: Recommended only if you want to use a specific video for a particular slide. If the video will be reused in other slides of other songs, it is still recommended to add it in the My Videos tab.

Details of some features Organize Themes and Backgrounds using tags To facilitate the organization and filtering of items, the option of tags was added. It is possible to create, for example, tags with the names: particle, water, blue, fire, etc... and this way, when selecting a theme or background, you can easily list only the items in the respective tag to find the desired item. It is also useful in the new features of the program, such as scripts and automation. Dynamically set background You can create rules to dynamically set background for music slides. For example, creating a rule where every slide that has the word 'rain' is defined with a random theme/video that has the tag rain. Every slide that has the word 'ocean', 'oceans' or 'sea' is defined with a random theme/video that has the tag sea. Set unique MIDI shortcuts Controlling music slides via MIDI is a feature that has been used more and more. However, to start the presentation of the lyrics, it was necessary that it was in the playlist to know the position of the item in the list and start the presentation via MIDI. With the MIDI shortcuts option, you can set a specific MIDI code and velocity for a song lyric. And that way you don't have to worry about adding it to the program's playlist, or what position in the list it is in. Just send the MIDI command (code/velocity) defined for the lyrics of the song and the program will start the presentation. This makes it easier, as you only need to set the song shortcut once in your track program, instead of constantly changing it according to the item's position in the playlist. [Slide Description] Paragraphs in sequence with no need to repeat In the lyric edit window, when defining a slide with a description, the following slides will also have the same description. For example:
##(Verse 1)
Slide A
Slide A
Slide B
Slide B
##(Chorus)
Slide C
Slide C
Slide D
Slide D
In the example above, Slide B will be considered as Verse 1, and Slide D as Chorus
Sort slides by slide description
In the sorting slides window it will be possible to sort using only the descriptions.
For example: Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Chorus

Details of some features [Wallpaper] Set a wallpaper for each searvice (file menu, settings) When setting a wallpaper for a service, the program will automatically use the service wallpaper selected in the main window's playlist. If there is no wallpaper set for the selected service, or if the temporary playlist is selected, the default wallpaper will be used. Note: The wallpaper displayed is not according to the time of service, but according to the service selected in the playlist of the main window. Note: It is also possible to set a wallpaper for each service in the wallpaper option of the bookmarks bar. [Schedule] Filter members for each role When editing the scale in role mode, the list of users that appear for each role is based on the group defined for the member and role, for example: If the guitar role is defined as the instrument group, all members of the instrument group appear in the list to be assigned to the guitar role. It is now possible to define which users of the instrument group will appear in the list to be cast in the guitar role. [Media] Basic audio, video and image editing Some editing tools will be available by right-clicking a media item in the main window tabs. It will also be available in the tools menu, several. [Video] Workaround to play videos with rotation not identified by the program Some videos (generally recorded by mobile) do not play correctly in the program as VLC Player does not identify the video rotation setting. A workaround has been implemented to avoid this unforeseen event, as in many cases this is only repaired at the time of use. If the program identifies that the video has a rotation setting defined in the "metadata" of the file, the video will be played externally by VLC Player directly in the operating system. Option to add a video as a slide background without using the "my videos" tab In the music editing window, to set a video as the background for a slide, you must first add it to the My Videos tab in the Themes background list. It is now possible to set a specific video as the background of a slide without adding it in the My Videos tab. Just drag the video file from the operating system folder (Windows Explorer, for example) to the top of the slide. Note: Recommended only if you want to use a specific video for a particular slide. If the video will be reused in other slides of other songs, it is still recommended to add it in the My Videos tab.
