Presentation

The words on the wall, out of the set you already built.

No second licence, no second operator, nobody retyping lyrics into a slide deck on Sunday morning. The songs in the set become the slides.

The Songware presentation cockpit: the output preview on top, generated slides and the setlist below, the inspector on the right
  • Top — what the room sees, mirrored on the control screen so you are never guessing.
  • Left — slides generated from every song in the set, in set order, with the setlist beneath.
  • Right — text style, background, layout, output. And what the live band is currently on.
How the slides get made

You do not build a deck. There is no deck.

Every song in the set is already sectioned — verse, chorus, bridge. Presentation reads those sections and lays them out as slides. Change a lyric in the song and the slide changes with it.

  1. Step 01

    Your set, unchanged

    The same setlist the band is playing from. Nothing to duplicate, nothing to keep in sync by hand.

  2. Step 02

    Slides appear

    One per section, in order. Long sections split at a line limit you set; short songs can share two columns.

  3. Step 03

    Add what is not a song

    A countdown before the start, a notice as a PDF, a video, a text slide of your own. They sit in the same rundown.

  4. Step 04

    Send it to the screen

    Its own output window, fullscreen on the second display. The control screen stays yours.

Media slides

Not only lyrics.

The four things a small room needs before and between songs, without opening a second application for any of them.

With a live session running

The band moves on. The screen asks first.

Presentation knows which song the live set is on. When the leader moves, it does not yank the screen out from under you — it says so, and you decide. Set a timeout and it will follow on its own if nobody answers.

This is deliberate. An operator who loses control of their own screen mid-service stops trusting the tool, and a projector that jumps during a prayer is worse than one that lags.

Where it fits

Enough for a small room.

  • Lyrics for a congregation or an audience
  • A countdown, a notice, a clip between songs
  • One person running both the set and the screen
  • A laptop and a second display — desktop or the browser
Where it does not

Not production software.

  • Multi-layer show control and announcement sequences
  • Camera feeds, lower thirds, broadcast output
  • Stage displays and confidence monitors
  • Phones and tablets — the cockpit needs a real screen

If your church runs cameras and a broadcast, keep the software you have. This is for everyone who was going to buy it and does not need to.

Try it on one rehearsal.

Build one set, open presentation on the laptop that is already there, and put it on the wall. That is usually enough to know.
