Doodlin' Deets Menu

Visual cues are totes important when you're scribbling all over your music like a maniac. Using the sticky note appearance menu (aka "the thing that makes your notes look less terrible"), you can customize each note to match whatever vibe your performance needs. This menu shows up when you tap on the sliders icon in the menubar & includes the following options:

Gimme Font Choices

Here you can pick which font makes your chicken scratch look the least embarrassing. Options include Marker, Chalkboard, Helvetica, & Courier.

Note Color (aka The Sticky Situation)

Adjusts the color of the note paper, which are all pastel because apparently we think you're in kindergarten. You can choose from white, yellow (our thrilling default), orange, green, blue, purple, pink, grey or clear. You can add & customize colors in the note paper color palette using the color picker.

Text Color (Make It Pop!)

Adjusts the color of text in the note so people can actually read your illegible handwriting. You can choose from black, red, blue, green, light blue, purple or grey. You can add & customize colors in the text color palette using the color picker.

Opacity (The "See-Through" Situation)

Some notes may overlap chord charts like a bleepin' train wreck. You can adjust the opacity of the note & text so you can actually see the chord chart underneath. This is adjusted using the opacity slider. The default is set to 100% opaque (aka "solid as a brick").

Font Size (Big? Small? Goldilocks Mode?)

While OnSong will try to make the font adequately large & shrink it to fit inside your note like some kind of digital origami, you may want to adjust it differently. Use the font size slider to adjust the font size between 32 & 96 points. The default value is 48 points.

Rotation (Tilt That Note, Y\u{2019}all)

Sticky notes are applied square on the page like boring little robots. You may want to rotate the note slightly to draw attention to it or cram it between parts of your chord chart. Slide left & right to rotate the note up to 45 degrees in each direction. You can also rotate the note using two fingers when you\u{2019}re in the song viewer because we thought that\u{2019}d be totally intuitive.

Scale (Make It Bigger or Smol)

Notes applied to the page are made the size of a typical sticky note relative to the page width. Because apparently we\u{2019}re nostalgic for 1997. You can make notes larger or smaller using the scale slider. Adjust the size of the sticky note from 50% to 150% of its normal size. You can also use two fingers to pinch the note to change its scale in the song viewer.

Shape (Wide? Tall? You Decide!)

Use this slider to change the note from being wide to tall. Tap in the middle of the slider to center the value & return to a square note (the most thrilling option of all time).

Shadow (Ooooh, Fancy)

You can use the slider to adjust the opacity of the shadow that appears under the sticky note because shadows are apparently super important. When you pick a transparent background color, the shadow is automatically set to zero (shocking, we know).

Tap & drag anywhere in the sliders to adjust the value like you actually know what you\u{2019}re doing. Tap the left or right side of the slider to fine-tune adjust its value like some kinda perfectionist.
