Icons in Actionbar

[David & Kristin]

Is there a way to turn off or hide the help, search, cast, and settings icons in the Actionbar at the top of the screen (screenshot attached)? They end up taking up a fair bit of space, and it means I lose sight of the full song title. While I don't always need to see the full song title, I do add the time signature for any songs not in 4/4 at the end of the title, so losing sight of that is a bummer.

Personally I don't know that I've ever used the help, search, or cast icon shortcuts from within the app, though I realise I'm just one user and they may be really helpful for others. I do use the settings shortcut at times, but wonder if it and the other shortcuts might be better placed at the top of the song and set menu, alongside the help icon there? Just an idea, as it would keep the main screen a bit less cluttered, but still allow those shortcuts to be pretty easily accessible. In my case, it'd be great to just have the menu icon in the top left, song title with key next to it, and battery percent/clock info in the top right.

Please don't feel you have to redesign to my taste though, just thought I'd ask and pass along the suggestion. If there's already a way to hide some of those icon shortcuts that I haven't found, please do let me know.

I'm really grateful for all your work on the app.

I'll put a preference in for this in the next release (second option down), however, you will still be limited by the width of the screen.  The other option suggested above is also a solid backup:

Just tested out the new version, and your tweak of being able to move the icons to the overflow menu worked perfect to open up more space for the song title.

Thanks so much

I had pushed an update v6.7.5 to fix this, however, for some devices, this added an additional space at the top of the screen.  I have just pushed v6.7.6 to the beta channel that should fix both of these issues.  I will also push to the stable channel today.

David, 

I have found that the best way to see the full title of a song is to make it the first line of the lyrics, followed by a blank line, and then start your song with the intro or verse.
