Menus: What every button does, and where to find it
Everything on OzBCoz is reached from two places: the banner across the very top, and the menu bar underneath it. On a phone or tablet most of that menu bar folds away behind the ☰ button in the top right.
Some buttons only appear where they make sense. There is no Key button on the Songs Index, and no Defaults button while you are reading a song.
Getting around the site
🎵 Links — the dropdown that takes you anywhere else: Songs Index, Favourites, Multi-Faves, ChordPro Files, Chords, Songbooks, Blog, Thanks and Terms.
The OzBCoz logo and name in the banner takes you back to the home page from wherever you are.
💡 Handy hint: If you are ever lost, those two get you back. The logo goes home, and Links goes everywhere else.
Changing how a song looks
🎸 Instrument — shows what you are currently set to. Click it to pick a different one and the chord diagrams change to match. On a song page there is also a bar just below the banner showing your instrument along with its tuning; clicking that opens the same picker.
♯ Key — opens the transpose panel, for moving a song up or down to suit your voice. Song pages only.
⚙️ Settings — the layout options for the song you are reading: text size, fonts, spacing, where the chords sit and so on. See Settings.
★ Defaults — sets the layout you want for every song rather than just this one. It is on the Songs Index page rather than on a song, because it applies to all of them. See Default Settings.
Top / Bottom / Right / Hide — the bar just above the words moves the chord diagrams around the page, or takes them away entirely.
Playing and reading
▶ Start — begins auto-scrolling so you can play without touching anything. Beside it are a speed slider and an indicator showing where you are in the song.
✎ Edit — opens the Edit window, where you can change the words and chords of the song. Song pages only.
ℹ Info — shows the details held about the song.
Keeping and printing songs
♥ Fave — saves the song you are reading into your Favourites. Once saved it shows as ★ Saved. Song pages only, and you need to be logged in.
📄 Files — creates something you can keep: a PDF, a Word document, a plain text file or an image.
Help and getting in touch
❓ Help — a dropdown with the Help Guide and the Help Videos.
✉ Contact — slides out a panel for sending a message.
👁 VI Song — switches the page into a form that works properly with a screen reader. On a desktop this is in the banner; on a phone or tablet it is in the ☰ menu, listed as Accessibility.
On a phone or tablet
Tap ☰ in the top right of the banner and everything above is in there, as a list you can expand.
The one difference worth knowing is the name. Screen reader mode is called VI Song on a desktop and Accessibility in the phone menu, but it does the same thing.
💡 Handy hint: The banner also holds the donate button with its currency selector, and either Login / Register or your username if you are already logged in.
