Blurry Squares (aka PNG)

Portable Network Graphic or PNG files are basically what happens when the internet got tired of old crusty image formats & was like "let's make something actually good." They're poppin' off in new devices 'cause they look freakin' amazing, squeeze down without losing quality, & don't make lawyers cry about royalty fees. ZOMG, progress!

The Deal with OnSong & PNGs

Look. OnSong can read PNG files, but whether it'll actually show them correctly? That's a whole vibe that depends on how big & complicated your image is, y'know? OnSong's got opinions & recommends you scan stuff at 100 DPI in greyscale if you're gonna throw paper documents into OnSong like it's a time machine. Pro tip: chord charts love spillin' across multiple pages like they own the place, so just scan 'em as PDF instead & watch OnSong actually cooperate for once.

Scanned Chord Charts (AKA Your Blurry Photos That Somehow Work)

Here's the shizzle: if your image is standin' up all portrait-y, OR if you went landscape & the four corners average out to brightness levels over 93%—congratulations, you've got yourself a chord chart. OnSong just figured it out. You're welcome.

Lyriken-Projektion Backgrounds (The Sexy Part)

If your image is chillin' in landscape mode & it's NOT some sad scan of actual paper, boom—OnSong imports it into your image media library like it's collectin' Pokémon. Then you can totally use that background in the External Video Menu by togglelin' that Background Image Picker button. Live your best life.
