You

The Yummy Toys tab (aka your vibe on the OnSong local network) is where you get to decide how you roll & how songs get beamed to your eyeballs. Basically, customize how the music lands when some leader's device is shoving it your way.

Ur Name Here

This text field is where you rename yourself on the network because apparently "iPhone" isn't creative enough. If you leave it blank, your boring account name & device type will show up. Not signed in? Welp, just your device name then. Go wild — try "Guitar Overlord" or literally anything that makes you feel like a musician.

Song Version

OnSong Connect yeets the text-based chord chart or whatever external file the leader's rocking from their device. BUT PLOT TWIST: you might have your own chef's kiss version of that song you'd rather use instead. Surprise! You can do that.

• None = your song stays frozen in time while everyone else's songs are changing. Perfect if you're only here for the OnSong Connect party tricks like messages.
• Use my version will grab your chord chart if it exists on your device. OnSong does the whole detective thing — matches by title, number, CCLI, or whatever provider ID y'all are using.
• Use the shared version = you get stuck with whatever the leader sends. It's the default, so deal with it.

Get Fancy

These toggles let you tweak how your music looks & which third-party shizzle gets involved. When you pick the default option, you're literally just copying the leader's settings like a musical copycat. Here's the laundry list:

• Audio — your backing track will start/stop whenever the leader touches theirs. Default is off (coward mode).
• Metronome syncs your metronome to the leader's metronome starts & stops. Default is off. Pro tip: There's lag, tho. Don't fire up like five metronomes at once or they'll sound like a drunken drum circle. Blame your Wi-Fi, not us.
• Navigation — leader controls if pages scroll & zoom on your device, or you can be a rebel & do it yourself. Default is on (surrender mode).
• Lyrics toggles lyric display ON or OFF. Guitar peeps, turn this off if you literally cannot be bothered. Everyone else, turn it on. Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• Chords toggles chords on/off. Vocalists especially will love ditching these. Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• External File — if the song has an external file attached, you can use it or ignore it. Pianists can flex with a lead sheet while everyone else gets stuck with a chord chart. Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• Transpose — decides if the song transposes based on its declared key or just sits there looking sad. Throw this on if you need to rekey a song for different instruments. Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• Capo — applies capo to the chord chart or doesn't. Guitarists turn this ON, bassists & pianists can peacefully turn it OFF. Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• Diagrams shows or hides chord diagrams on your chart. Think you're too cool for training wheels? Turn it off & bask in your own superiority (but like, don't be annoying about it). Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• Instrument — pick what you actually play so chords render for your specific ax. Yeah yeah, we know you play jazz ukulele, so lock it in here & stop whining about guitar chords. Default is "whatever the shared version says."
• Transposing Instrument — apply transposing instrument rules to songs the leader sends. For all you Bb clarinet legends out there.
