Is it possible to reduce the distance between the lines?

I use a touchpanel and especially in the classical music I often have to scroll to see all the data. If there would be a possibility to pack more lines onto the screen (reduce or eliminate the additional line break between the tag values) that would be very cool

thank you very much

reduce font size?

[globetrotters1]

not possible, otherwise it would be unreadable

I'd like to eliminate the unnecessary empty lines in-between, that's all (build a 'compact' view so to speak)

thanks

Entertainment View > Playing Now > Player > Display > Track Info

Dreamstate
Moire
Moire Viz
Ocean
Simple

Have you selected the Dreamstate mode?
That mode displays the text in a more compact manner than the others.

thanks, Supersnake, for your hint, I already knew these display variations but they are too ugly and as far as I know not customizable with custom library fields

The standard info panel display would do just fine, just without the additional line breaks in-between

I put now 3 fields onto one line to reduce space usage (with an expression '#[track #] - [Duration] - [File Type]'), looks good and is easy to read. But the same trick is impossible with lots of performers in an opera e.g.

well, I have the data in the library and we talk here of approximately 18'000 classical albums, lol

the modern music is no problem, the classical music is, as there are a lot of data attached to the albums/tracks

Hopefully there will be someone who can instruct you how to manually edit the data.

rick,ca or Gappie,

could you please be so kind to answer my question?

The addition of time and zone was no big deal, probably it's also possible to eliminate with ease the additional linefeed in the info panel display... if it's not hard coded

thanks

[rick.ca]

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "additional linefeed in the info panel display." If you're referring to the line height, I doubt there's any way to change that. It does, of course, vary with font size.

In any case, you should do better using expressions to combine and manipulate fields. That can include tricks like turning a list into a string. For example, I have a list field [a.Moods], where a "mood" is generally a single word, and it's not uncommon for 20 to be assigned to an album. That's a little tedious to view in Theatre View, so I change it to Replace(Replace([a.Moods], //, / • ), ;, / •)—a string with the words separated by "•".

It should also be possible to combine a group of similar fields (e.g., those fields you don't like seeing the "additional line feed" between) into one memo-like field for more compact viewing. Unfortunately, I don't know how to include a line feed in an expression (i.e., so each field, possibly with a caption, still appears on a separate line within the memo field). Maybe someone can help with that...

hello rick.ca,
thanks for your answer. If you look onto the Info panel, left side with the data, between each line there is an empty space (like a carriage return-line feed, CRLF in computer chinese ), I'd like to pack the lines together without vertical spacing, if ever possible
Hope that it is now clear, otherwise I have to do a print screen and publish it here
Thanks

[rick.ca]

If you're referring to the line height, I doubt there's any way to change that.

...which is why I suggest looking at ways to work with the design.

[globetrotters1]

I like the design now very much, it is well designed for use on touchscreens

Some little things could be enhanced, so to speak, that's why I post it here

thanks
