Run the gig in Show Mode
Lock the screen, keep it awake, arm the first song and drive the night with Next and Back.
Show Mode is the on-stage view. It locks editing, hides the Library tab, enlarges the setlist and asks the browser to keep the screen awake, so a tablet on the keyboard rig does not go dark mid-set.
Entering Show Mode
- Build and check your setlist first — nothing can be edited once Show Mode is on.
- Tap the Show Mode button in the show header.
- You may be asked whether to switch to dark mode for the show — easier on the eyes in a dark venue. You can say no.
Any audio that was playing stops on entry.
Driving the set
- Tap a song to arm it. The armed song is marked as now playing (title, position of total).
- Next and Back move through the list. Played songs dim; the next one is marked.
- The live clock shows Ahead or Behind against the planned times, measured from the moment the first song was armed. When the last song is done it shows Set finished with the actual total time.
- Your position survives a reload mid-show.
- To start over, use Reset live progress — tap it twice to confirm.
Leaving Show Mode
Tap the button again. A dialog asks Really exit Show Mode? so an accidental tap cannot pull the app out of the locked view; confirm with Exit.
Keeping the screen on
Show Mode requests a screen wake lock. If the browser cannot grant one you see Wake Lock unavailable — in that case turn off display sleep in the device settings for the night.
Show Mode does not show chord charts or lyrics. It is the setlist, enlarged, with the clock. Pair it with your chart app if you need one.
Next
- Export the PDF — for the taped-to-the-floor version.
- Prepare the royalties report — after the show.
Thanks for the feedback.
