VDJ Pro 8.1 user here. Using Hercules Black VDJ Skin..
Although (it seems) all skins provide the BPM field for a track on them, I've developed the need to see the "on-file" value for the BPM, instead of just the value that the track is currently being played at. My skin scrolls the Artist and Title fields across the top and I'm assuming it's derived from the XML code shown in the pic. All of these I find are SINGLE values (%artist, %title, etc). Is there a way to change this to accommodate multiple fields? If so, I'd like to add "bpm" to the Title field that scrolls in the window.
a) is it possible? and b) what would the syntax be in the skin file to accomplish this?
ie. Something like ....format="%title"+"%bpm" scroll='yes' ....
Thanks!

you can do it in this way for example (took this from a posting of the German-forum

<text size="14" color="white" align="left" format="first: `get_browsed_song 'firstseen'` last: `get_browsed_song 'lastplay'` playcount: `get_browsed_song 'playcount'` scroll="yes""/>


format="get loaded_song 'Title'" is the same as format="%title".

so right syntax should be

<text size="14" color="white" align="left" format="first: `get_loaded_song 'firstseen'` last: `get_loaded_song 'lastplay'` playcount: `get_loaded_song 'playcount'` scroll="yes""/>
