Thank you for your tireless efforts for this app. Really appreciate it.
I use the pad feature to play a audio file - This works great - But i have a problem when using this feature during practice - (since i can only stop and play from start). Would be great to have a page button option that can rewind the current playing song by 30 seconds (or 'x' seconds).

Thank you in advance.

Hi, 

Sorry for the delay.  I've added your request (set it to 15 seconds as it seems more useable to me).  However, do you know that there is a built in audio play that you can use: https://www.opensongapp.com/user-manual/utilities/audio-player - this lets you drag a playback cursor for fine control.

Thank you Gareth ! This is great - will try out the feature over the weekend and share feedback.

And yes, I did read the Audio player feature - I didn't see that fitting into the workflow (especially when you are practicing with a group of people and you just want to go back 2 or 4 bars)

The update hasn't been released yet.  I'm hoping next week!

Hi Gareth,
After linking an audio file to the pad it works very well as it can be controlled near the top right small player window. When I use the audio player from the utilities menu I can start playing any song file that I select, but the player control window covers quite a lot of the lower screen so that I can't read the lyrics and chords. After  I close that player window the audio file keeps playing but I have no way to stop it or rewind or forward it. It would be great to have a smaller control area like the pad player. On bigger screens like tablets it would be good to have such a small player control in the upper menu area.
Thanks again for your amazing work and all your fast responses to many requests!

Greetings,
Juergen

Hi Jürgen,

I have added a popup option for the audio player for the next release:

This can be dragged around the screen as required:

You can also minimise the window:

When playing or minimised, the opacity is reduced further.

Expect this in the next release!

Gareth
