• Lyriken Only will remove th' background color, gradient, image, and video leavin' only th' lyriken on th' screen.

On iOS and iPadOS devices, th' lyriken-projekshun modes be always enabled where th' stage monitor mode can be toggled on and off. Stage monitor mode will always be output on physically wired video devices via HDMI or VGA, or wirelessly usin' an AppleTV. This allows lyriken-projekshun settings t' continue t' be modified fer other wireless devices such as Chromecast. On macOS devices, both lyriken-projekshun modes and th' stage monitor mode can be toggled on and off and separate windows will be shown or hidden accordingly.
