Venues

A venue is a location that has it's own set of Singers. Mobile KJ's, when arriving at a particular venue, can simply switch kJams to that venue, and all the singers that frequent it will then be available. In addition, Singers can be moved or aliased between venues using the Finder.

Venue management is done in the File menu.

Same Singer, different Venues

To have a singer be able to "show up" at more than one venue:

1. quit kjams
2. go to your Music folder, then go into kJams/kJams Library/Venues
3. go to the folder with the name of the Venue where the singer originally was added
4. find the singer in the "Singers" folder inside the Venue folder
5. make an alias (shortcut) of that singer in the new venue, there are two ways to do it:
   1. method 1
      1. select that singer folder
      2. Mac: in the File menu pick "Make Alias", or Windows: in the File menu pick "Create Shortcut"
      3. drag the alias into the new venue
      4. rename it such that it does not have the word "alias" or "shortcut" in the name
   2. method 2
      1. hold these keys down: Mac: command-alt, or Windows: alt
      2. while holding, drag the singer from the original venue to the new venue
   3. you may want to rename the singer if the name is too similar to another name already in the new venue
6. run kJams

For example, if Dave shows up at Venue A, and also frequents Venue B, you can make an alias to Dave from Venue A, and place it in the Venue B folder. You can rename the alias so it does not collide with someone already at Venue B. When a singer modifies their favorites, history or "Tonight" list from the alias, it actually modifies the original, so when they go back to Venue A, all their changes show up there too.
