Different lines per song slide in 2 venues at same time

March 12, 2026
I have just dowloaded the latest Alpha and the likes per slide is still a global setting. To properly support more than one "location" lines per slide for songs needs to be associated either with a template or a slide order

PJ – I don’t believe the new version was ever intended to include an automated ‘lines per slide’ feature. As we’ve discussed, the closest way to handle this is by using different Slide Orders (Arrangements). However, there’s really no shortcut here; you won’t be able to avoid manually editing your songs to fit those specific needs.

Even with multiple slide orders now in Alpha, I'm concerned about how a single Presenter license would handle this across two locations. Since the software is built on a cloud-sync engine, it may try to force both computers into the same active arrangement. Your most reliable bet is likely creating two entirely separate song files—one formatted for 2 lines and one for 4 lines—to ensure each location stays independent and stable.

Actually, even 'robust' software like ProPresenter doesn't handle this as a 'one-click' magic button. ProPresenter 7 can technically reflow text using 'Alternate Themes' in the Looks menu, but it often results in awkward, unnatural line breaks. To get it looking right, even those high-end users usually end up doing manual editing or using complex 'Slide Notes' workarounds. Automated line-breaking just isn't an exact science in any of these programs yet.
