LR-First slide (title) of a category

[Bystre deti]

A great feature of possibility to have a title of category as a first slide comes with a new build of LR.
But it does not seem to work for me if I want to use it the same way in the playlist... I want other slides random but the title first. But even the title comes randomly... Can you help me, please??

Hi Pupisek,

You can make a title slide appear first in a playlist. But you have to do it via 'Categories' first. Here is what you do:

1. Go to the Advanved/ Edit Screen and click on the Categories tab

2. Click on the NEW button near the bottom of the screen and enter a name.

3. Add words to your new Category by either adding words from the existing library by going to EDIT or create your own words and pronunciations by clicking on NEW at the bottom of WORD SETTINGS Panel.

4. Set a word as the title word by clicking EDIT below the WORD SETTINGS Panel, clicking on 'Other' then choosing 'First Slide (title) and hitting Save

5. Go to the Playlists tab and click on NEW to create a new playlist.

6. Then click on the EDIT button, from the word set library on the left, choose the Category you have just created and press on the ALL button to transfer your playlist.

*Check the manual for full instructions how creating a category.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply but this is what I know and what I have done already. As I mentioned in my previous post, the title works for me if I play the category. But if I create a playlist and include the title word as well, I expect it to play always first. But it does not. It plays ramdomly the same way as I requested the other word files to play randomly.
So from your explanation I understand that the word file checked in the category as a title is suppposed to play first also in the playlist ONLY if I add the category to the playlist as ALL.
If I want to add all words from category by highlighting all of them and adding to the category, it would not work???
I need to create a playlist for 5 words from some category (that has e.g. 10 words)  but with title playing first. Another playlist would retire one of the words and add a new one from the same category, AGAIN with the title playing first and slides randomly....
Thanky you....   Martina

Hi Martina, 

In regards to your question: So from your explanation I understand that the word file checked in the category as a title is suppposed to play first also in the playlist ONLY if I add the category to the playlist as ALL. If I want to add all words from category by highlighting all of them and adding to the category, it would not work???

The answer is yes, because what you are actually doing is adding the 'Category' and in that 'Category' you would have already defined which word you wanted as the title. You have to do this via 'Categories' first then transfer to the playlist by ALL.

You can create customizable categories via 'Categories' then transferring these categories to you playlist and  title slides will always be shown first for each category when the playlist is shown e.g.

1. I create 3 new categories called Favorite Action Words, Favorite Parts of the Body and Favorite Couplets which contain 5 words each, making sure I have title word defined for each category.

2. I then go to the 'Playlists' tab and create a new playlist and add the 3 categories by ALL.

3. When the playlist is played the order of the categories and words in them will be random, but each category will be followed on by another category and each time the title word for that category will always be played first.

Thank you for your answer. I understand what you are explaining me and I am able to do it.
But what I need is:
To have a category of part of the body with 20 words for different parts of the body. But as Glenn Doman recommends, I want to show a baby only 5 of the words 3 times a day, always randomly. The next day I need to retire (remove) one of the words and add a new one. And show that to the child 3 times that day. This procedure follows as many days as I have more words to add (and always retire one old to have 5 of them to show in random order).
Since LR has not this feature of easily retiring and adding new words, I thought creating playlists would solve that for me. So I create a playlist for each day, removing 1 old word and adding 1 new to the existing group withing 1 category. I wish I could show at the beginning of the lesson a title (Parts of the body).
So the playlists and the categories would have theese words FOR EXAMPLE
Category title: Parts of the body
Category words: Head, arm, shoulder, hair, eye, belly, hair, finger, toes,....
Playlist Day 5: Head, arm, shoulder, hair, eye,
Playlist Day 6: arm, shoulder, hair, eye, belly,
Playlist Day 7: shoulder, hair, eye, belly, hair,
Playlist Day 8: eye, belly, hair, finger, toes

Cann this be done with a title at the beggining?

Hi Martina,

The best way round this I think is to create all this in 'Categories' and not 'Playlists' because in 'Categories' you can just to add and remove one word at the time and still retain the title whereas you cannot do this in 'Playlists'. For example:

Let's call this MyLesson to save confusion -
Tiltle = Parts of the body
Words = Head, arm, shoulder, hair eye

I can create this lesson in 'Categories' by adding one word at a time and define Parts of the body as the title slide. Now if I want to change one of the words to another i.e belly for Head I just need to go the EDIT button and use the arrows to add the word belly from 'List of all words' and removeHead. Now your MyLesson has changed so belly has replaced Head. Words will still be played in a random order and the title is still Parts of the body.

You can then just keep editing MyLesson to replace a word each day or you can just create a new lesson in the same way you've created this one. So you can have a MyLesson where you just keep change one word for another or you create multiple MyLesson to reflect each replaced word.

This cannot be done in 'Playlists' as you cannot individually add words. The long way round it would be to individually create all those lessons in 'Categories' and then transfer them by ALL.
