Added metadata for setlist view (Key/Tempo etc.)
Added a new song field "Live Prompt". This will be a short note, separate from the lyrics/chords notes, which will be a handy place to place a short reminder/prompt for the current song. This is be available in the Live scrolling view as well as live Setlist view.

Also, added the ability to "fast edit" a song from the LIVE view.... e.g. quickly change start delay, scroll speed, zoom, then jump straight back to your LIVE gig.

Visual metronome. Border of text window pulses in time to song tempo - giving you a “spacial” tempo awareness without taking your eyes off of the text. Border thickness adjustable, or can be turned off.
New Home screen layout. Clearer and more logical.
