Creating a song book

  1. Create a folder under the UBA root folder that ends with "Songs". For example, it can be called "Worship Songs".

  2. Create notes and place them in the folder you created. Each song should be in its own note file. Separate each stanza in a song with a blank line.

  3. Create a book file by selecting in the menu bar "Resources/Create/Reference book from Note file". Select the folder with all the songs in it. It will then take several minutes to generate the book. The book will be in the marvelData/books folder.

Note: If you see extraneous text in your file that says something like REC-html40/strict.dtd, set includeStrictDocTypeInNote flag to false.

Displaying the songs

Songs are accessible in the Master Control, Library 1. Your songbook will be in the list of books.

Songs are also available for presentation in Plugins/Presentation. Select the "Songs" radio button. Select the song book in the dropdown. Each stanza will have its own button to display. If you do not see your songbook, make sure the filename ends with "Songs.book".
