When you set a font size that should be the font size
Currently the "font size" is set by fitting the text to the area of the slide. I would like the option (and I choose if this is default) that if the text, in say a verse, won't fit onto the slide at the set font size it auto chops the text into multiple lines/slides.
Rather then shrinking the text to an unreadable level, forcing me to manually go through and break the lines and break the verses.
This is by design. We do not want to break up the lines of songs.

EVERY OTHER worship software auto-splits both songs and scripture to show as much as fits. YES, you SHOULD manually add splits where they make sense, but sometimes automatic is OK.

+1 here. Where this problem hits me is the line-by-line shrinking of lyrics. Having varying font sizes within one stanza looks quite sloppy. IMO, "Shrink to fit" should be an option, not the default. (And if it's enabled, the UI should reflect that. It shouldn't say the text is x points when it's actually been shrunk to .8x.)

This is definitely the biggest problem I have using Proclaim--especially when doing the bible verses. I don't think the default should be "shrink to fit", but instead, keep the font size exactly what we set it to, allowing the text to wrap. If the text would stay the size we select, with text wrapping, it would fill the slides appropriately and require much less time! I spend literally HOURS manually doing line breaks to get the text to format properly on each slide, so it's large enough to read. So much else I could do with those hours. Thanks for posting this great suggestion.
