Or, I normally don't need to see those so I set it for about 10 sec but if it's one I do need to see, just click on File>Open and pick any song then go back and open the one you want and you can see it again.

These are separate from the 'hints' that display for longer than that, and the amount of time isn't affected by the hint time. I could add a % setting that would allow the reminder messages to display for longer, so that if it was 200%, you'd see them all for twice as long. Or maybe a right click and copy to clipboard so that you'd have a copy of the message. Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.
