OpenSong Directory Structure #

Location #

The following describes the setup of the main church desktop.

By default, OpenSong stores sets, songs and scripture under `Documents/OpenSong` (you can use the Finder to locate the folder).

Additional Directory Structure for Songs #

Under the Documents/OpenSong/Songs directory, we may have directories for special collections of songs `added songs` and `worshipleaderapp.com`.

The added songs directory #

The folder named “added songs” is intended to keep songs that we added ourselves. This is strictly for adding a collection of our specific songs. We are not strict about this.

The worshipleaderapp.com directory #

The folder named “worshipleaderapp.com” holds a database of songs (english only) downloaded from the WorshipLeaderApp website. At the time of writing, it included over 2710 songs.

Recommended way of working with new songs: #

1. If you had to do an “add-hoc” adding of a song during a service, it will automatically go to Documents/OpenSong/Songs that is fine.
2. If you are adding a song file, the recommended practice is that you add it to Documents/OpenSong/Songs/added songs
3. If it is a big collection of songs, create a new folder under Documents/OpenSong/Songs and add the collection of songs there.

Downloading the Songs #

Ask the Tech Team for access to our Google Drive folder with MHC OpenSong Resources. This will give you access to the folder structure, songs and scripture we use.
