Opacity

Some notes may overlap chord charts. You can adjust the opacity of the note and text to allow the chord chart to be viewed underneath. This is adjusted using the opacity slider. The default is set to 100% opaque.

Font Size

While OnSong will make the size of the font adequately large, and shrink the font to fit inside of the note, you may want to adjust the font size differently. Use the font size slider to adjust the font size between 32 and 96 points. The default value is 48 points.

Rotation

Sticky notes are applied square on the page. You may want to rotate the note slightly to draw attention to it or to fit it better between parts of your chord chart. Slide to the left and right to rotate the note up to 45 degrees in each direction. You can also rotate the note using two fingers when in the song viewer.

Scale

Notes applied to the page are made the size of a typical sticky note relative to the page width. You can make notes larger or smaller using the scale slider. Adjust the size of the sticky note from 50% to 150% of its normal size. You can also use two fingers to pinch the note to change its scale in the song viewer.

Shape

Use this slider to change the note from being wide to tall. Tap in the middle of the slider to center the value and return to a square note.

Shadow

You can use the slider to adjust the opacity of the shadow that appears under the sticky note. When you pick a transparent background color, the shadow is automatically set to zero.

Tap and drag anywhere in the sliders to adjust the value. Tap or the left or right side of the slider to fine-tune adjust its value.
