How to save track icon settings in GarageBand on iPad?

Hi.

Does anyone else have trouble saving track icon settings in GarageBand when closing a project? Every time I open up the project, previously selected icons revert to default icons for the plugin used. This is very unhelpful when dealing with many tracks. I’m using an iPad Pro.

How can I remove Music Widget from iPhone Control Centre? If anyone is having trouble removing the Now Playing music widget from the iPhone Control Centre, I believe I've found the solution. Swipe down from the top RH of the screen to access the Control Centre, and there will be a tiny cross at the LH top of the screen (cunningly designed so it's nearly invisible). Touch the cross and all widgets will appear with a minus icon. Any widget with that icon can then be removed from the Control Centre by touching the minus icon. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Decrease number of bars on GarageBand Mac project I used the triangle (upper right corner of screen) to add more than the amount of bars needed to record a project. Now want to remove extra bars that were recorded upon. I use the triangle to move a line to the end of the tracks which will stop the song at the proper bar, but the extra bars remain in view on the screen. The project/song will end playing at the proper place but there is still empty bars appearing on the screen. I expand the project's tracks to fit the screen, but beyond the tracks, still lies the original 200 tracks I first set up. Example: I set the project up for 200 bars. Now recorded, the project is only 100 bars long. How do I get rid of the extra 100 bars? Should I just ignore them or is there some way to totally remove them for the project's screen? Garageband IOS does this with a window that allows you to enter the total amount of tracks for the song. You may use auto to make sure you get the whole recording then turn off auto and enter the exact amount of bars the recording takes, after the recording. Anything like that in Garageband Mac?

Is there a way to keep the controls/progress bar from disappearing while having the lyrics displayed on Apple Music? (iOS app on iPhone) Hello, this is a constant annoyance idk how to fix. I like seeing the lyrics scroll and have the controls/progress bar always visible while I’m playing music in the Apple Music app. When I initially play a song with the lyrics showing, the controls/progress bar are visible, but they quickly disappear after a few seconds. That said, they do come back if I scroll up/down on the lyrics themselves. I’ve made countless searches and no one has talked about this as far as I can tell. And yes, I know that clicking the quotes icon will get rid of the lyrics and show the controls/progress bar all the time, but that’s not what I’m asking. I’m specifically asking if there is a way to keep the controls from disappearing while the lyrics are scrolling in the app (I really don’t need them taking up the whole screen, and having to mess with the screen just to get them back is annoying and leads to “misclicks” (mistouches?)) I have an iPhone 14 Plus and it is up to date (iOS 16.6). Thanks, John
