Worship Assistant v4.4 Beta
I have posted a beta of the next minor release of Worship Assistant. The beta expires in 30 days, but I anticipate a release by the end of the week if there aren’t any major problems. Please provide any feedback or bug reports in our group at Yahoo! Groups.
Here is what is new:
- A default background bitmap can now be specified for each song.
- The Presentation Control Panel is now larger.
- A button to ‘blank’ the screen (i.e. remove the lyrics) has been added to Presentation Control Panel.
- Mail servers that require an SSL connection (e.g. GMail) can now be used to send e-mail.
- Record filtering can now be done from the manager browse windows.
- ‘Load All Records’ is now enabled by default in manager browse windows.
- A navigator bar has been added to the main window for easier navigation.
The beta can be installed over your current installation. I don’t anticipate any problems, but going back to the previous version is simple enough if necessary.

Thanks for the work…..long awaited update. Please accept these ‘wishes’ in the appreciative spirit with which they are sent…..I do think WA is a fine product—-I’ve been using it for years.
Wishlist:
Is it possible to have the various song parts ie. Chorus, Verse, Bridge, Refrain, Outro, etc. print out in a noticeable manner—with a circle, or box or rectangle or the entire chorus offset so that it is easier to pick out when playing/following lyrics??
Second, is it possible to put in a ‘column break’ command on the vaiuous song sheet printouts?
Third, how about some more flexiblity as to the placement, and size of the Chord diagrams. At times it would be most useful to have these print in a ‘column’ along the right or left margin or along the top of the page instead of at the bottom……..and on the topic of chord diagrams, I liked the earlier version where they only printed out on the one page (my preferance would be on the first page).
Thanks again
God bless
