How verses, choruses and other sections look

    In Stage Friend you choose how the headings of a song's sections, such as verse, chorus and bridge, look on the page: the style, the size and a colour for each kind of section. Clear headings are how you find your place again after a solo or when the singer jumps back to the chorus. The settings are under Settings, Text and chords, in Song sections, with a preview, and they apply to every song on the device. To mark the sections in a song in the first place, see Mark the verses and choruses.

    Choose a section style

    The style decides how much a heading stands out from the lyrics. There are ten, from a plain heading such as Classic or Hairline, through Underline, Tag and Outlined tag, to a Full band of colour across the page, and the preview shows each one as you pick it. Caps is the standard. Framed, Overlap and Timeline mark the whole section rather than just the heading, so you can see where a long chorus ends as well as where it starts.

    Make the headings bigger or smaller

    Bigger headings help when you scan for the chorus from a distance, and smaller ones leave more room for the words. Heading size goes from half the size up to 160 percent with the minus and plus buttons. 100% is the balanced size for the style you chose, so you can always find your way back to it.

    Give each section its own colour

    Colour is the quickest way to tell the chorus from the verse without reading a word. Colour is off until you turn it on, and then each kind of section gets its own: the chorus red, the bridge, solo and instrumental blue, the outro and tag grey, while the intro, verse and pre-chorus stay plain so the page doesn't turn into a rainbow. To choose a colour yourself, tap a kind of section in the list under it and pick one; once you have changed any, Reset colours starts over. With the sections looking right, the rest of the page is down to the chord style and the theme.
