What is New in the 1.7.0 Release of the Digital Platform?

Custom Templates

You’ve been asking for some time, and we are proud to release a highly sought-after feature: Custom Templating. Templates allow a variety of custom starting points for you when preparing the liturgy. The primary benefit of this feature is the removal of repetitive actions that you take every time you prepare music for Mass. Do you always add an opening and recessional hymn? Do you use the same mass setting for an entire season? Do you always put chant in modern notation? Do you always remove some sections and add others, and then apply the same settings week after week? With templates, you can make those changes once and reuse them as a new starting point for preparing future liturgies.

Templates don’t just save changes to your outline. You can also set default text and music selections, music transpositions, adjust the notation or accompaniment display, set the default number of psalm verses for antiphons, and more. Those changes will be stored in your template for later use when you begin to prepare your next liturgy.

Practice Audio

MIDI playback of your music selections has long been available for those preparing liturgies within the Source & Summit Digital Platform, but now this highly requested feature is available for everyone in your music program. When you share an Ordo (a prepared liturgy) with your musicians, they are now able to listen to MIDI playback of the music you have selected in order to help them rehearse and learn new music. Click here for an example.

Export Updates & Improved Musical Display

Improvements have been made to the rendering of musical score content, helping to maximize the space used on an exported page and to minimize page turns. Updated logic will also prevent single measures from being orphaned on a new system. Page and system breaks have also been adjusted so that they will occur in the most logical places in order to improve the readability of your music.

‍

Source & Summit Missal Template

While the full templating feature is only available in the Standard Plan or the Complete Digital Add-On, we have included a pre-defined Source & Summit Missal Template in the Missal Support Plan that comes with every Missal subscription. Missal Support Plan users can now produce a complete Ordo to match the contents of the Source & Summit Missal with just a couple of clicks. To see a demonstration of this feature, please watch this Missal Support Video.

Readings for Memorials

Readings for memorials and optional memorials are now available in the Standard Plan, Campus Ministry Plan, and the Complete Digital Add-on for the Missal Support Plan.

‍

Pilot Referral Program

We have begun a pilot referral program and you can now refer your friends for a $50 cash referral reward. If you would like to start earning $50 for customers you bring to Source & Summit, then email support@sourceandsummit.com to learn more and to sign up. Some limitations apply.
