How can I rename the title of a song I've imported?

OnSong uses the name of the imported file as the title of the song. So if you are importing "Ain't She Sweet.docx" or "The Torch.pdf", OnSong will use "Ain't She Sweet" or "The Torch" as the song title, removing the file extension in the process.

You can change the song title by tapping on the "pencil icon in the Menubar to open the Song Editor. You can then simply change the first (and perhaps only) line of that file to the title of the song. You can also use the Metadata Editor Menu to set other information about the song by tapping on the "info" icon in the Song Editor Menubar. When you're done, tap Done to update those changes.
