Doesn't really seem like it would save time but thought I would try something different. I can't find a way in Builder. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/mission-opening-versicles-in-matins#post-1988 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:57:39 +0000 Rick Rostek 1988@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I have a custom resource I created based on Matins. Mostly, I've simply added more hymns, the introit, and additional readings. However, when I create a service based on this liturgy, the Opening Versicles are missing. Yet, when I go to "My Liturgies" to check this resource, the Opening Versicles are there. Not sure why they would be missing when I create a service. Anyone have any thoughts? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/verse-for-lent-permission#post-1987 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:49:59 +0000 GraceChurch 1987@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Once again I am trying to use the Verse for Lent and I am being told that I do not have permission to use it.

The file downloads just fine but does not install correctly. The problem I have is that SQL Server 2008 Express does not seem to be able to load. Apparently SQL 2008 requires a Windows Vista/7 file to make it work that WINE cannot "recreate". </p> <p>I have been fiddling with Ubuntu for a while now to see if it would work as a replacement for Windows and I have been pretty happy so far, especially with the use of WINE. LSB has been my first program I was not able to load/operate using WINE and I am hoping someone may have tried before and found a way to make it work. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/bulletin-formatting-community#post-1979 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:05:58 +0000 pastordbeck 1979@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I recently redesigned my WordPress blog site, and was really impressed with the different "layouts" and appearances that one could choose between (submitted by the community of WordPress...ers). At the same time, I was redesigning our church bulletins, and I shared it with a few friends, who promptly asked, "wow, did you do that in Service Builder!?" I had to respond that, no, unfortunately, I designed it in Publisher (as a template) and just plug in the propers each week. (can be viewed here. <a href="http://pastordbeck.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/new-bulletin/" rel="nofollow">http://pastordbeck.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/new-bulletin/</a>)</p> <p>I'd like to suggest some sort of venue for the sharing of these files. Whether they are shared as Templates for Microsoft Office platforms, or somehow integrated into the Service Builder itself (strong preference for the latter!) I think it would be a great way to collaborate in worship planning, and in designing and producing worship materials for each Sunday. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/matins-responsory-disappears-in-advent#post-1978 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 12:54:04 +0000 GraceChurch 1978@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Attempting to put together a service using Matins. Following the Scripture Readings, the heading appears for "Responsory" but there is nothing there.</p> <p>The workaround is to hit "Insert" then browse through Matins and re-insert the Common Responsory. However, when I do that, I get the little yellow warning triangle that says "This element is usually omitted during the season of Advent."</p> <p>I have not been able to find ANY resource that says that the Responsory is to be omitted during Advent (including several individuals who worked on the "Lutheran Service Book"). I think this is just an error in coding - especially since the <strong>Common</strong> Responsory is omitted in Vespers during Advent. There is an Advent-specific Responsory for Vespers (but not Matins - there is an Easter-specific Responsory in Matins that does not appear in Vespers).</p> <p>I'm running 2.3.1.26192.

Is this still being "considered"? It would be very very very helpful if you would add this material.</p> <p>Also, will you be adding the daily office seasonal antiphons to the available material? Again, this would be very very very helpful.</p> <p>And as a side question, will you be adding the two forms of the Prayer of the Church (Responsive, p. 442-443; Ektene, p. 444-445) to the available material? Again, this would be helpful. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/migrating-personalized-settings#post-1956 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:02:34 +0000 cantorman 1956@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We're switching who does the services in Builder at our church.

However, when this comes up in Builder, it does not insert the wedding stanza in the middle of the song but instead puts it at the end as text only, while leaving stanza 4 with the music. The only workaround I've come up with is printing up only stanza 1 with music, and then switching to text only and manually inserting stanzas 5 and 4. I would like to be able to export them all with music, though, since there are only three stanzas. Can you help me with this?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/melody-disply-format-fonts#post-1960 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:25:58 +0000 michaelschutz 1960@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a request/idea for the "melody" display format for exporting into Powerpoint. I'm very familiar with notation software, so I understand the limitations when working with notation, but I'm wondering if it would be possible either to allow a customizing of the font for the Melody display, or to change the default font to one that's more suited to screens. Even a bolded version of the current default (I think it's just Times New Roman, right?) would be much easier to see on a screen.</p> <p>For a few hymns, the default line/page breaks don't work well (is there a place to either request changes to that?), so I've created custom versions for our congregation. To keep consistency I use the same font, but made it bold, and it's much easier to read. (As an aside, is there also a place to report "bugs" such as missing slurs on the notation?)</p> <p>Ideally, a font with a larger x-height, or other features that make it seem "bigger" at the same point size, would be better, such as Tahoma or something like that. If this is a feature request for a future version, please file it as such. I know it's probably impossible to simply allow the user to choose whatever font (though that would be amazing!), but considering a different default would be a worthy idea, IMO. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/exporting#post-1958 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 21:24:44 +0000 crosslutheran 1958@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I just updated to the 2.0 version and CANNOT figure out how to export the service to a powerpoint presentation.

Some of the Introits/Graduals are from propers appointed in previous hymnals but not currently available in Builder. (current version - 2.3.1.26192)</p> <p>I have seen in other posts that the "Create Custom Elements" tool in Builder is the same tool used to create the standard elements. As I'm typing in the custom elements, it would be nice to be able to point them like the other Introits/Graduals. The online documentation for Builder 2 does not include the "Creating and Managing Custom Worship Resources" for me to reference.</p> <p>Is there a way for me to include chant pointing in my custom elements? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/creative-worship-importing#post-1558 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:21:59 +0000 Michael Kesar 1558@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>In the file for Advent II 2009 I imported the Creative Worship data into LSBuilder. When I did, there was no text for some elements (Lord's Prayer, Preface, Creed), presumably because there were only headings in the CW file. This means that powerpoint users would have to paste the texts for these back in in order to create slides from within LSB. Mary C. plans to correct this in the future. However, I suggest that it would be easier if the Creative Worship imports were only ADDED to the LSB file. That way, one could choose either the LSB Confession or the CW confession etc. After all, the point of CW is that we be "creative" and pick and choose from the elements available. When you bump out all the LSB items, you remove options. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/let-us-pray-for-builder-files#post-1919 Tue, 24 May 2011 12:17:18 +0000 rev donald beaumont 1919@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Am I missing something or is the let us pray for service builder late this week?

I've discovered a relatively good way to "sync" the databases. I use Windows Live Mesh and have set it up to sync the "State" directories on the two computers (I also sync with the sky drive, which means I don't have to have both computers on at the same time for it to sync. I then "back-up" LSB every time I finish working and "restore" it when I begin.</p> <p>Unfortunately I don't always remember to back up and then have to check which computer has the latest files.</p> <p>So here is my suggestion/requests:</p> <p>1) Can there be an option that either automatically back-ups/restores LSB on start up and closing, or at least an option to have a pop-up window ask if you want to do that?</p> <p>2) Allow for an option that you can add the computer ID to the back up, so that you can know from which computer a back up was made?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Bill Sabol </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/gloria-patri#post-1875 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:38:47 +0000 RevPodeszwa 1875@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>When using the Psalms, I have to manually add the Gloria Patri which is already printed out in the hymn book.
