[UWP] V1.5.1 Update

V1.5.1 for Windows has just been released!

Lots of behind-the-scene code stuff packed into this release, as well as some more noticeable tidbits.

Firstly, you may notice a new Capability required, and a new button on the Display page. MayEoinSongs now has (very basic) voice control!
Simply tap that button, speak the command, and watch the magic happen before your eyes!

Currently voice control supports the following commands:

  1. Edit: edit song [num] where "num" is the song position in the playlist
  2. Transpose: transpose song [num] [up/down/plus/minus] [semitones] where "num" is the song position and "semitones" is the number up/down
So, simply speaking "transpose song 1 up 2" would transpose the first song in the list up 2 semitones.
A small addition, but can make things easier, reducing the amount of tapping to be done.


Behind the scenes, we've moved to a different way of handling databases. It still uses the same database from previous versions, just opens and deals with it differently, so all your songs are safe!
Your playlists unfortunately didn't make it over, so you'll have to re-add them. A small price to pay for the greater good of the app! (Debugging all the database stuff is a whole lot easier now!).

More behind-the-scenes stuff are just basic code fixes and updates. I've now finished migrating most of the app to a library (I've a few different versions for myself, so makes updating them all easier). With this, generally every aspect of the app has been touched and made better. Most noticeable in this version is the import/export feature (there were a few issues with datestamps up til now).

So that's the gist of where the app stands. Much more to come in the future!

Formatting songs

The app hilights section names to help distinguish the different sections of the songs. Chords are also hilighted to make them easier to read. Section names are not necessary, but are beneficial for you! Through the settings, chords can be set to display above the lyric line or inline, among the words. Custom colours are also set there. Custom section colours, with chord display set to "inline" Chords: When typing out the chords and lyrics, chords should be typed on a separate line above the lyrics. The app handles displaying them inline or above by itself. Chords should be positioned in the correct spot above the lyrics on which the change occurs. In order to denote a chord, simply enclose it in square brackets "[ ]". The opening square bracket should lie above the letter where the chord first enters. See below about using "[-" with chords to keep line spacing when inline display is selected. Section Names: In order to denote a section of ...
