Edit singer announcement screen allows to adjust the look of the singer announcement screen. Singer Announcement Screen dialog box will appear.

 

Singer announcement duration in automatic mode defines the amount of time that the announcement screen is displayed before the song starts to play in automatic mode.

 

Siglos Karaoke Professional can show the scrolling message at the top or at the bottom of the karaoke screen. You may define the font, colors, location (top or bottop) and the speed of the scrolling message in Scrolling message section. You may also choose to display additional message after the usual singer reminder. Number of singers to show allows to define how many next singers will be displayed in the scrolling message (up to ten). Use old style will show the message on top of the currently played song, not on the separate black strip.

 

When Countdowns are enabled Siglos displays a timer that shows how much time next singer has before their performance starts, by default it changes color from green through yellow to red when time is up.

 

Preview screen update speed allows you to change the refresh rate of Preview window (the lower the value, the more frequently the window is repainted). Please note that preview window refresh uses additional CPU time.

 

Show remaining song time instead of current position will cause the time counter on the main player window to show the time left to the end of the song rather than current song position.

 

Skip silence at beginning/end of the song enables silence detection and allows Siglos Karaoke Professional to skip silent parts of the song (usually used for displaying CD+G company logo and song title). It works for MP3+G and ZIP files only.

 

Rotation / Playlist font section allows you to change the font and the size of the text in Playlist / Rotation lists. You may also define colors used for active and disabled items.

 

'Add Singer' list font modifier allows you to increase (or to decrease if desired) the size of the font used in lists of Add Singer/Song dialog box.

 

If you are adding a new singer of the name that already exists in the singer database, Siglos Karaoke Professional will ask you to choose one of the options. You may define the default action to be taken using If adding singer of the same name section (seeAdding Singers for more information)

 

Time display in Rotation list allows you to choose which time-related columns should be displayed in rotation list. Next column contains estimated time the singer will be on stage. Last displays the last time the singer was on stage. In column contains the time singer or song was added

 

If fill-in playlist contains songs, Siglos Karaoke Professional will play the first song when it opens if Initiate fill-in playback on program start is enabled.

 

Detect commas in artist names may be used to fix artist names in sortable format (with artist name or The part after comma). So Adams, Brian will be displayed as Brian Adams, and Beatles, The will be The Beatles. This affects only singer announcement screen and scrolling message, database listing will not be changed.

 

Include track number in 'Add Singer' song search allows to search for the tracks by their number on the original disc. The same goes for Include Song ID ... and Include file path ... .

 

Number of characters to start interactive search specifies how many characters need to be typed in the general search box before the results are updates (setting this to 1 may cause slow operation if you are running slower machine and your database is large).

 

Exit the program without prompting disables confirmation message on program exit.

 

Advance to next song on fill-in playlist every time fill-in is activated caused the playlist to skip to the next song every time playlist is active. This may be useful if you have many short breaks and do not want the audience to listen to the same song over and over.

 

Reset key to zero for songs not sung by the singer (by default latest key change for singer is used) allows to change the way key changer is set for new songs. By default Siglos Karaoke Professional remembers the key change for each singer and applies this for the new songs added for the singer. This may be undesired and with this option checked key will be reset to zero for all new songs. If you set the key for the song, it will be remembered and reset the next time singer sings the song.

 

With Create backup database copies every 7 days option enabled Siglos Karaoke Professional will create a copy of a database file once a week and store it in compressed file in case something happened to the working database.

 

Database file location makes it possible to change the database file used by Siglos Karaoke Professional. This may be useful if you move the database between computers or for some reason need to use more than one database.

 

Crossfade time when using Restart button defines the speed of silencing the music when Restart is clicked.

 

Force FFDShow filter usage tells Siglos to use FFDShow filter before trying other video codecs.

 

Use Standard renderer as fallback makes sure that if the selected renderer is not available, standard will be used instead of reporting an error.

 

When Use old drag-and-drop behaviour is enabled, dropped songs will be added to the playlist (regardless of the mode) instead of opening as a file in Add Singer window.

 

Display scrolling message when not playing karaoke ensures that the message is visible even when no song is playing (and singer announcement is displayed).

 

If Show announcement screen even if no singer is in queue is enabled, then singer announcement stays visible on screen and is not replaced by predefined empty screen.

 

Lock rotation windows when Add Singer is open does not allow any operations in main program window until you close Add Singer.

 

On new session start fill-in from the next song ensures that Siglos will not resume fill-in playback, but will jump to the new song on the fill-in list.

 

Overlay fill-in videos and visualizations with singer annoncements displays singer announcements on top of visualization or video played from fill-in list.

 

Wait n seconds before allowing 'Go To Next' is a safeguard so you do not click Go To Next button accidentally after starting the playback.

 

When you enable Always skip empty singers if 'Wait for songs' is selected, Siglos will skip empty singers until all singers have sung their songs. Then it will wait for new songs.
