Perform

Perform is the mode for the stage. The chart looks the same as in Practice, but it is locked: taps move you through the song and never change it.

• The current section is highlighted.
• In a setlist, songs follow one another in order, and the roadmap shows where you are.
• The tempo and time signature stay in view. Tap starts the metronome and sets the tempo as you tap in rhythm; tapping the BPM stops it.

Bigger or smaller text

The lights, the distance to the stand or your eyes can change from gig to gig. You can resize the song text without leaving the stage:

• Pinch the chart with two fingers, or on a trackpad, to make the chords, lyrics and notes bigger or smaller. With a mouse, hold Cmd (on a Mac) or Ctrl and scroll. The song stays under your fingers: it grows around them, and moves up or down with them if you slide them while pinching. The controls stay the same size.
• Squeeze quickly to put the text back to the size in Settings.
• The Text dial on the bottom island shows the size as a percentage. Drag it to change the size: on a touch screen a ring of sizes opens around it, and the text changes as your finger moves. Touch and hold it to go back to your Settings size.

The size stays the same from song to song until you close the app. It never changes your Settings. Auto-scroll keeps time at any size: bigger text scrolls faster, so each bar still passes at the tempo.
