How to create lyric slides for your next service
Save songs in your library, choose a readable slide style and add them to the service presentation. Basic and Premium support verse, chorus and bridge sectioning. After changing library lyrics, use the project’s Update control to refresh and reflow those slides, then review the result before presenting.
- Free includes 25 songs; Basic includes 100; Premium has unlimited songs.
- Creating or changing lyric sections requires Basic or Premium.
- Library edits need an Update action in projects that already use the song.
- Rehearse the reflowed slides on the actual output display.
1. Choose a readable style
Set your font size, alignment, margins and background before adding a full service. Keep lines short enough to read from the back of the room. Use a consistent template rather than formatting every slide from scratch.
2. Save each song once
Add its title, artist and lyrics to the song library. Free supports a single lyrics block for new songs. Basic and Premium let you create sections such as Verse, Chorus and Bridge. Ordinary lines-per-slide splitting still helps keep text readable.
A software subscription does not grant permission to reproduce copyrighted lyrics. Check your church’s relevant licences and acknowledgements.
3. Add songs to the service
Insert library songs into the project and put them in service order. Review the section groups and slide breaks, especially after changing fonts or the amount of text per slide.
4. Apply library changes deliberately
When library lyrics change, projects that already use that song offer an Update control. It refreshes and reflows the song’s slides. Update all applies available updates across the project. Review the resulting breaks and slide count; do not assume a library edit has already changed every presentation.
5. Rehearse the output
Check the presentation on the actual projector. For offline Windows use, Basic or Premium is required: verify the plan online, finish the project/media downloads and confirm readiness before disconnecting. Keep a backup copy for the service.
