Playing Version 1 Cues in Version 2
The good news is that Lyric, Bible and Text cues in version 2 offer powerful new features and provide greater accuracy and editing capabilities. The bad news: Since cues created in version 1 don't have these things, their formatting may be interpreted differently when opened to version 2. Therefore, it's important to preview Lyric, Bible and Text cues in an old Script or Box opened in version 2 before presenting them to an audience. Here's what to look for and how to fix it:
 
Lyric cues: To help prevent the loss of manually inserted page and line breaks whenever a cue is edited, a v2 Lyric cue saves a copy of the song data with these breaks, along with play order and other formatting, in the cue itself. Because a v1 Lyric cue doesn't contain the data in this form, its play list and pagination may be lost when it's opened in v2.
 
Solution: Unfortunately, each v1 cue's play order and pagination may need to be rebuilt manually by editing the cue. While this is an inconvenience, we trust that you'll find the greater reliability and editing flexibility of v2 Lyric cues to be worth the extra effort required to convert your old cues.
 
Bible cues: A v2 Bible cue provides a setting for the bottom margin. Because a v1 cue lacks this setting, its bottom margin is interpreted as 0" when opened in v2. In addition, to increase the likelihood that a cue created on one computer will use the correct Bible version when played from another, v2 uses a specific code to identify each Bible version. In v1, Bible versions were identified by a code based on the order in which the versions were installed. The conversion table in v2 that's used to match the v1 codes to v2 codes is based on v1's default installation settings, so in most cases, the program will pick the right version. But if you later added or removed Bibles in v1's Bible library, the table won't be accurate, so the program may pick the wrong version for v1 cues opened in v2.
                  
Solution: Version 2 now allows you to edit multiple cues at once. To change the bottom margin for all Bible cues in a Script or Box, select all the cues (Ctrl+Click each cue), then right-click and choose Properties. In the properties dialog that opens, set the proper margin (click the Verses Layout button), then click OK. Unfortunately, you can't change the version for multiple cues at once, so if you added or removed Bibles in v1's Bible library after installation, you may need to edit each Bible cue individually to fix its version.
 
Text cues: To increase the likelihood that a Text cue document will appear on the display screen the way it looked when you created it, v2 does a better job of interpreting a document's page size and margin settings. Because v1 interpreted these settings differently, a document created for display in the old version may look different when displayed from v2. In addition, a v2 cue can play a multiple-page document, so if this difference causes text to spill to another page (or the document had additional pages that never appeared), the v1 cue will appear with subcues.
 
Solution: ShoutWriter (MediaShout's integrated word processor) lets you adjust a document's page size to match the resolution of the display screen. If a v1 document doesn't display correctly in v2, open it in ShoutWriter and adjust its page size to match the display screen's resolution. If you then adjust the document's text to fit within these settings, the document will display correctly. See Page Size & Display Resolution, for details.
