How to remove an image assigned to a song verse

Note
This article applies to any style attribute and any style level.

For this task, we will consider a song with four verses and the image background style attribute.
Let's say that we have assigned:

• an image (sunflowers) to the whole song

and more specifically:

• an image (a dove) to song verse 2.

As a consequence, verses 1, 3, and 4 will be displayed with sunflowers as background, and verse 2 with a dove:

Song verse 1: Sunflowers (from "Song" style level)

Song verse 2: Dove (from more specific, higher, "Verse" style level)

Song verse 3: Sunflowers (from "Song" style level)

Song verse 4: Sunflowers (from "Song" style level)

Use any of the following methods to remove the dove image from verse 2.
Verse 2 will then be displayed with the image from the lower style level (the "Song" style level): sunflowers.

Method A: Use the "Brush" icon
1. In the slide panel, click on song verse 2.

This will automatically set the style level to "Verse", as shown at the top left:

2. Click the "Brush" icon located in the toolbar at the top-left, in the "Style" group:

The brush has the effect of removing all style attributes at the currently selected style level, for the selected item (the song verse 2).
In our case, it will remove the "Dove" image from the style assigned to song verse 2, which will then be displayed with the image from the lower style level (the "Song" style level): sunflowers.

Note
The "Brush" icon is disabled when there is no specific style attribute set at the selected level.

Method B: Use the style explorer and its "Brush" icons
Open the style explorer with the help of the tiny button located down-right in the "Style" group:

This expands the style explorer panel. Expand the "Background" panel by clicking on it:

The style explorer tells at which level any specific style attribute is set.
There you can remove a specific style attribute (whereas with method A, you remove all of them at once, which is not necessarily what you want...).
Click the "Brush" icon located to the right of the property that you want to remove:

The guitar icon at the right indicates that the corresponding attribute is set at the "Song Verse" style level.
A blue bullet means "Base" level.
Use the style explorer whenever it is not clear at which level an attribute is assigned.

Method C: Remove all the above style attributes
1. Click on the song, either in its songbook, or in the agenda (if you have it there):

This will automatically set the style level to "Song", as shown at the top left:

2. Open the drop-down menu at the right of the "Brush" icon and click "Delete all the above style attributes":

This menu removes all attributes assigned to higher level styles (song verses in this case).
Style attributes assigned to the "Song" style (the currently selected style level) are preserved.

Note

• Slide transition
