Several new music features have been added to the latest release (version 7.3) of the Gospel Library app in preparation for the retirement of the Sacred Music app by the end of 2025. The new music features include:

• Play and shuffle options for nonstop listening of an entire song list, including curated music albums and collections.
• Additional hymn verses below the music staff in sheet music views.
• A second sheet music view—“Fixed” PDF layout—in addition to the existing “Responsive” view that adjusts to your font size and screen width.
• Accompanist mode for pianists and organists to “turn” pages on multi-page sheet music rather than scroll between pages by hand. This new view is also compatible with Bluetooth pedal page-turning devices, familiar to many accompanists.

Current users of the Sacred Music app can look forward to playlist functions arriving in the Gospel Library app later this year. Merging the two apps will make it easier to find music resources that can support daily faith-building and worship.

If you have music features you’d like to see in the Gospel Library app, use the feedback feature in the Help section of the app to share your thoughts.
