&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;During a live show, it is important to be able to communicate with the audience.  Traditionally, this has meant that a good KJ would spend a lot of time on the microphone, making announcements, lining up the rotation, etc.. While it is still important for a KJ to build rapport with the audience over the microphone, kJams allows you to do much more to get your announcements across.  Most obvious is the Rotation screen that you can opt to display between songs, or any time by using the Video/Toggle Rotation command.  Now, with [[Video#ShowScreens|ShowScreens]] there are many more options to display a message to your audience (even if they&#039;re out of earshot, on a back smoking patio, or sitting at the bar ignoring you).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Scrolling A Message Across Video Screen While Song Is Playing: ==&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to simply scroll some text along the bottom of the Video screen.  To do this, select Video from the menu bar, option Messenger Message.  Type your text in the dialog box, click OK, and watch what you just typed scroll across the bottom of your Video screen.  You can use this to announce Last Call, drink specials, or anything else you&#039;d like - without interrupting the singer or the flow of your show.&lt;br /&gt;
A specialized form of this type of messaging is scrolling the current Rotation along the bottom of the screen.  To do this, select Video from the menu bar, option Messenger Rotation.  This will scroll the next three singers/songs across the bottom of your Video screen. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Note: For any of these messages to work, the option &amp;quot;Show Messages in Video Window&amp;quot; must be enabled in your Preferences.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Messages Using ShowScreens: ==&lt;br /&gt;
The next option to show a visual message is to use [[Video#ShowScreens|ShowScreens]]. You may already be familiar with the Rotation screen, and the Toggle Rotation command.  However, another option is to make use of the built-in Message ShowScreen.  You can view the template by selecting it from the Video menu.  However, to get a message to display on it, you have two options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Screen Message ===&lt;br /&gt;
Under the Video menu, you can select Screen Message*.  Type your message in the dialog box, click OK, and watch your message appear in the Message ShowScreen template.  It will stay on the screen until you clear it, either by showing another ShowScreen, toggling the Rotation, starting a song, or selecting Hide Screen from the Video menu.  The message is not saved, so each time you want to display a message, you will need to re-type it in the dialog box.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;* The message may not appear if another ShowScreen is currently displayed.  To ensure your message displays properly, select Hide Screen from the Video menu before selecting Screen Message.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Enter Custom Screen Message ===&lt;br /&gt;
Similar to Screen Message, you can opt to enter a Custom Screen Message.  After entering your message in the pop-up dialog, nothing happens until you select the Message ShowScreen from the Video Menu.  Then the Message ShowScreen and your custom message will appear.  The message is saved, so if you wanted to announce a drink special between the next three songs, all you would do is type in your message, wait for the song to end, and select the Message ShowScreen.  Then, after the next song plays and ends, you would just need to re-select the Message ShowScreen for your message to re-appear.  As this system works separately from the Screen Message option, even entering a Screen Message will not change your saved Custom Screen Message.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Advanced - Custom ShowScreens For Messaging: ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once you master using the [[Producer/Tutorials|Producer Tutorials]] to create custom [[Video#ShowScreens|ShowScreens]], creating your own Custom Screen Message ShowScreens is easy - just use the [msg] meta tag to insert the contents of your Custom Screen Message into any Producer template you would like.  You could easily have a different Custom Message screen for each of your [[Venues]], complete with the Venue&#039;s logo.  You could add enough meta data to the ShowScreen to also include the Next Singer along with your Custom Message.  The [[Producer]] plug-in is free to be used in this way, so go ahead and try it out!  &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(tip: make a duplicate of a song and rename it to something memorable (like &#039;template sample&#039;), then use this duplicated song to practice making ShowScreens with - Producer requires a song to act on, although you are only creating ShowScreen templates, not timed and animated lyric files.)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==ShowScreens==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m not really sure what to call these things, so &amp;quot;ShowScreens&amp;quot; is it for now, &#039;till i come up with something better.  They&#039;re also called &amp;quot;Comp Templates&amp;quot; in other places on the site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the deal is, in the Video menu, there&#039;s a list of screens you can show.  Also, using [[Producer]], you can create your own screens or modify the existing ones.  The main ShowScreens you will want to be familiar with are the &#039;&#039;&#039;Message&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Rotation&#039;&#039;&#039; screens, as these are the actual templates used by kJams to display Screen Messages and the Rotation between each song.  You also may find yourself using the iJams, Tip Your Waitress, and Next Singer screens quite a bit during shows.  Note that each ShowScreen included is just a starting point for what you could envision for visual display between (or during) songs.  Some are just sample pieces that you will use to build customized ShowScreens.  If you find you want to hide some of these options that you won&#039;t be using during your show, you can find the actual files in your user Library/Preferences/kJams/Producer Templates, and prefix a tilde (~) to any ShowScreen you want hidden. (ex. ~Big Text.xml) For more information on using ShowScreens for messaging during live shows, visit our section on [[Messaging]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to the [[Producer/Tutorials]] page, then watch the videos called: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Composing Text and Pictures, and Fading to Black&lt;br /&gt;
# Creating and Editing Comp Templates&lt;br /&gt;
# Intro and Outro, and Rotation Templates&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the song meta templates (described in the [[Xattr]] page), you can also use [venu] to substitute the current venue name.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The &amp;quot;Rotation&amp;quot; is the list of singers who will sing tonight. They are interleaved, that is, if there are two singers, A and B, and A has 4 songs and B has two songs, and A is first, the list will go A-B-A-B-A-A. A singer has control over the contents and order of their &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;quot; list. They simply fill this list and order it to suit. The KJ has control over the order of the singers via the &amp;quot;KJ Rotation&amp;quot; lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;KJ Rotation&amp;quot; lists each singer who had declared himself &amp;quot;here&amp;quot; for the evening, and the order in which they were added, or the order the KJ has placed them in. Each singer appears once. The list shows the order of the rotation, starting with first, and listing up until last. A singer will stay in the rotation even if they don&#039;t have a song currently in their &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;quot; queue. That way, they won&#039;t loose their place if they forgot to add another song by the time they sing. (You can set a pref to kick them out if they do this, forcing them to re-enter at the bottom of the rotation when they add another song, but that will likely make them sing *sooner* than they otherwise would have, so be aware). The current singer in the rotation should be highlighted, and is not necessarily the one at the top. (soon, the current singer will have a speaker icon next to it, separating it from selection, so you can select freely but not interfere with the visual feedback of who is singing). Not necessarily the one at the top means, the list does not change when the singer changes, what changes is just which singer is current. If you don&#039;t touch anything, you&#039;ll see the highlight change (naa-speaker). The list only changes when singers are added or removed, or when the KJ changes the order manually. If a singer goes home or is no longer singing, the KJ can simply &amp;quot;delete&amp;quot; them from this list, it does not actually delete the singer, it merely un-checks their &amp;quot;Here&amp;quot; check box in the Singer list, so any songs in their &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;quot; list remain there for the next time they show up at the venue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Rotation&amp;quot; list is different than the above, this is the one you want to show the audience. The current singer is always at the top, and the list scrolls up when that singer is finished. It also &amp;quot;wraps around&amp;quot; when it gets to the end, so singers may appear more than once (if they have more than one song in their &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;quot; queue). This list is maintained automatically for you, you really don&#039;t have much control in this view, since it depends on the contents of other lists. To change what you see in this list, you manipulate the Singers list (to change which singers are &amp;quot;Here&amp;quot;), the individual singer&#039;s &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;quot; list (to change the order in which a singer&#039;s songs appear) or the &amp;quot;KJ Rotation&amp;quot; list, to change the Rotation order. Note that to change or replace the CURRENT singer you must first STOP the current song (using either the ESC key or ⌘-. [command-period])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tip for KJs using Pro in a real-world setting for the first time: {contributed after my first weekend hosting with kJams. -randyj }  If you&#039;re in PANIC MODE because the wrong song is playing for the singer, it&#039;s due to &amp;quot;user error&amp;quot;. (You&#039;re learning the hard way.) So you go find the right song but you can&#039;t get it to play! Grrr! Take a deep breath. Just remember this: To get a song to play quick-n-dirty, press ESC to stop the rotation, click ONCE on the song, press the space bar. Done!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You probably had a singer in [[Target_Mode]]. To turn it off, double-click the singer name with the red target. To take advantage of Pro features: first add a song to the correct singer, then double-click the &#039;&#039;&#039;Singer&#039;&#039;&#039; in the &#039;&#039;&#039;KJ Rotation&#039;&#039;&#039; list.

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A venue is a location that has it&#039;s own set of [[Singers]]. Mobile KJ&#039;s, when arriving at a particular venue, can simply switch kJams to that venue, and all the singers that frequent it will then be available. In addition, Singers can be moved or aliased between venues using the Finder. For example, if Dave shows up at Venue A, and also frequents Venue B, you can make an alias to Dave from Venue A, and place it in the Venue B folder. You can rename the alias so it does not collide with someone already at Venue B. When a singer modifies their favorites, history or &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;quot; list from the alias, it actually modifies the original, so when they go back to Venue A, all their changes show up there too.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
