Main Window
The main window shows two lists of song titles, a menu, and function
buttons:
- Songs available
- The song titles in this list are songs that
are available for printing. Clicking on a song title in this list
will highlight the song and allow it to be added to the print list.
A label at the top shows the total number of songs available.
The list is sorted alphabetically; song titles that begin with "A," "An," or "The" are sorted by the second word in the title.
Note: to add all songs in the list: click on the first song to select it; then scroll down and while pressing the shift key, click on the last song.
Also note: Songs selected in this list are available to the Instant Full Screen function.
- Songs to print
- The song titles in this list are the songs
that will be printed, shown in printing order. Clicking on a song
title in this list will highlight the song and allow it to be moved
up or down in the printing order, or allow it to be removed from
the print list. A label at the top shows the total number of songs selected for printing.
Note: right-clicking on a song in this list will open a pop-up context menu,
which allows the assignment of unique transpose and chord settings.

"Songs available" List, this button will be enabled. Pressing this

print" list, this button will be enabled. Pressing this button

- Mini-preview
- This pane shows a mini print preview of the most recently
selected song from either of the two song lists. It serves as a
quick reminder of the text and chords of a song. This pane can be
hidden.
Function Buttons

- This button causes Songsheet Generator to send the songs in the "Songs to print" list to the desired
output destination. The button text changes depending on the current destination.

Window Title
The window title bar changes its appearance to provide a hint that the
current songbook has been modified, but the changes
have not been saved. On Windows, a star (*) is appended to the end of the
filename. On Mac OS X, the close button changes its appearance as is typical
for Mac applications.
