OpenLP gives you the ability to track all the songs that are displayed live.
|
|
|
|
|
Every time a song is displayed live it will be logged. This is useful for CCLI
|
|
|
|
|
or any other church copyright license that may require tracking or for your own
|
|
|
|
|
personal use to know what songs you previously used.

**Tip**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every time you display a song, whether for practice or during a service, it will
|
|
|
|
|
be logged if tracking is on. This could create a lot of duplicate songs being
|
|
|
|
|
logged. Toggle the tracking on and off, as needed, at the bottom right under
|
|
|
|
|
:ref:`themes` using these buttons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|song_active| Song usage tracking is active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|song_inactive| Song usage tracking is inactive.
