You can easily add tables and customize its layout and organize information for improved readability. With this release, you can password protect the entire document against editing and selectively restrict the editing of certain document ranges. This new capability is a significant enhancement to the previously available option to specify document and operation restrictions for other-users.
Our document protection model is based on the RTF 1.9.1 specification (read-only password protection and protection exceptions sections) and is therefore compatible
with the Microsoft® Word® document protection feature.

and watch the pictures slideshow on second monitor or vice versa.

3. Lyrics Editor has been renamed to Subtitles Editor. This feature has been greatly improved and you can use it with movies playback too.
You can import popular SRT subtitle files into these programs.
To improve the readability of subtitles the display of subtitles is changed to match the software skins, also as of now you can set the font size for subtitles text separately
in the software options.
This is a breaking compatibility change so if you did used before Lyrics database then please download and run the small conversion program first.
Run this tool after you install new versions and before  you run the software.
This program will convert your existing Lyrics database into a new Subtitles database.

4. Improved options and showing the lyrics text and artists pictures during the files playback.
