Do you know that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You're singing a Singing Call, the music is playing, the lyrics are scrolling automatically \u2014 but at one crucial point the lyrics are a little too early or too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps at Middle Break<\/strong>.
Perhaps at Closer<\/strong>.
Perhaps exactly where you need a quick overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic lyric scrolling was already practical. But with version 0.109<\/strong> He will be much more precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the caller's caddy can now access lyrics and cue sheets via Sync points<\/strong> connect them to fixed points in the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Sync Points?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A sync point is an anchor between music and lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You're basically telling the caller's caddy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201e"When the music is at this exact point, this line of text should appear here in the window."\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between two such anchors, the caller's caddy automatically calculates the scroll. And as soon as the next sync point is reached, the scroll resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text doesn't simply run evenly from top to bottom.
He constantly refers back to specific musical points in the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially helpful for singing calls, because the structure is usually clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intro, Opener, Figure, Middle Break, Figure, Figure, Closer, Outro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, to put it more simply: The song has its fixed sections \u2014 and the lyric scroll can now orient itself accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two ways: manually precise or automatically in a few clicks.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can set the sync points in two ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1: Manually click on important lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to be really precise, let the music play and click on the important lines directly in the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the beginning of the opener, the beginning of the middle break, or the start of the closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caller's caddy then remembers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This line of text belongs to this part of the song.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anchors are placed directly in the text. highlighted in yellow<\/strong>, so that you can recognize them immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially useful if you want to precisely control what is visible and when in a specific song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 2: Automatically capture sync data in 2 clicks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It's even faster with the new automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time you synchronize a song, the Callers Caddy will ask you if you want the sections to be calculated automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you only click on two places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. the beginning of the first part of the choreography<\/strong>
that is, the point after the intro where the actual singing call setup begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. the end of the seventh part<\/strong>
that is, the point before the outro, where the actual call is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these two points, the Callers Caddy automatically calculates the seven song parts and sets the sync points itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially helpful if you have many songs and don't want to painstakingly sync each one individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What happens if the lyrics only appear once in the text?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many cue sheets or lyrics contain a sequence only once, even though this part is used multiple times in the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's not a problem either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if there is only one character in the text, but the song uses this spot multiple times, the auto-scroll can simply access this part of the song multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When jumping backwards, the display doesn't jump back abruptly. Instead, it pauses briefly and then continues running appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels much calmer, especially while you're singing or calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text analyzer helps in identifying the structure.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a text analyzer checks where important keywords appear in the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPENER<\/strong>
MIDDLE BREAK<\/strong>
CLOSER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps the caller's caddy to better recognize where the typical song parts begin in the cue sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind it is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the text already contains instructions, you shouldn't have to configure everything manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caller's caddy uses this structure and suggests suitable sync points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With my 600 songs, the automatic setting was at 93 percent.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I tested and measured this function with my own songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 600 songs<\/strong> The automatic detection has approximately 93 percent<\/strong> In most cases, a satisfactory result was delivered directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does not mean that nothing ever needs to be edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, the automatic function is perfectly sufficient to make the lyric scroll significantly more usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if a song is structured differently, you can always manually correct the sync points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this is so helpful for callers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you're on a call, you don't want to constantly be searching for the right text with your mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want to have your mind free for music, timing, the dance floor, and your next announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good auto-scroll function is like an invisible assistant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He keeps the right place ready for you without pushing himself into the foreground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new sync points make this assistant significantly more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You no longer have to hope that the text will be roughly correct.
You can firmly connect it to the music at the crucial points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: Auto-scroll becomes more song-accurate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With version 0.109<\/strong> The lyric scroll in Callers Caddy will not only be more automatic, but above all more precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can directly connect important lyrics with the music.
You can have the seven song parts calculated automatically.
And you can intervene manually at any time if a song needs special treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm very curious to hear your feedback on this new feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my tests, it already works surprisingly well, but I'm sure there are still things we can improve together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's exactly why your feedback is so valuable.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
