Render Ahead/Behind

When swippin' through songs in a set, OnSong will render songs just before and after th' current song. This results in smooth swippin' through songs, but may also increase th' memory overhead o' th' song viewer since it be drawin' multiple songs at once. Arrr, fer performance reasons, ye may wish t' alter this behavior, savvy? Options include:

  • Automatic allows OnSong t' determine what be best. Normally this be turned on unless file formats dictate that it should be disabled fer th' current set. Default.
  • Off results in only th' current song bein' rendered. This results in swippin' t' blank pages but can improve performance when usin' external files that be not optimized fer OnSong.
  • On results in song pages before and after th' current song page t' be rendered and never disabled.

Renderer Version

Ye can choose th' default renderin' engine t' use fer text-based charts here. This will be applied t' any songs where th' renderin' version be not explicitly chosen. Options include:

  • Automatic determines which renderer t' use based on th' song content features.
  • Default be th' default renderer version o' th' OnSong version.
  • Original will use th' original version that does not have as many features.
  • New uses th' new unified renderin' engine with new features like columns and inline formattin'.

Show Scroll Indicators

OnSong features multiple scrollable panes t' display a set. Th' first be a horizontal scrollable pane which provides access t' songs in a set. Th' second be th' scrollable pane that contains each song. By default, th' scroll indicators on th' right side o' a scrollview be disabled, but ye can enable 'em through this settin', matey.

View Files as PDF

OnSong will automatically convert non-text imported file types t' PDF files t' maximize compatibility and t' remove operatin' specific renderin' issues that may occur. This settin' be on by default and also allows other file types t' be viewed in Low Light Mode as well as in a browser runnin' OnSong Console. Turnin' this off will display these file types "as-is" usin' th' operatin' system web-based renderer, savvy?
