Love the clock, but it can hide content of the page. An option to position the clock in the "next song" bar would be great. Unless it's a very long song title, most of the bar is empty. Clock size could default to the "next song" size font. Could put a "Display clock here" checkbox in the "Next Song Settings".

The next song bar is not going to be displayed for every user, and it's generally only displayed on the last page of the displayed song, not on every page, so the information would then not be readily available. If more users want this, I'm not opposed to supporting it, but I need feedback on what I should be doing with the clock display if the user enables that option but the next song bar is disabled or only shown on the page before the next song. Do I just only display the clock when the next up bar is displayed? What if that setting gets accidentally toggled, and the next song bar is disabled? How do I handle the clock display if a user then loads only an individual song and not a setlist, as the next song bar would never be displayed?

On both Android and iOS the clock in the notification bar is ample for my needs.
I used the next song bar for a while but it suits me better to have the lower corners set to tap to go to the next or previous song and the sides set to click to go to the next or previous page. I prefer it this way as I don't need to use up screen space for the next song bar.
What suits one person will not suit everyone.

Increasing the transparency of the clock has worked well for me

Sure, it would only work if you have the next song notification set on all pages and there is a next song. It would be a check box in the "next song" options page that would apply if displaying next song on all pages is active, otherwise would default to however the clock feature is set up in the clock settings section. Or it could just be another place the clock is displayed, then you wouldn't have to mess with the other clock settings. So if you have the clock "on" and also "on" in the next song bar, there would just be 2 clocks. That would be a lower lift.
Anyway, just an idea, and I get it may not be that important.

That's not an important feature for me, but some thoughts anyway ...
I did not use the clock by now as it might cover content of the song, but I have "Show Next Song Indicator" set to "Always". So in case the clock can be shown in the "Next Song" bar I would try it and probably will keep using it.
Some thoughts about "Next Song Indicator", "Title Bar", clock and their settings:
1. The "Next Song Settings" button at the left of the "Next Song" bar often confuses me as I have the touch action "Top Left Corner" set to "Go to Previous Song" and it happens every now and then that I hit "Next Song Settings" instead of "Top Left Corner".
2. There's a duplicate of "Show Next Song: Never / On page before next song / Always" in "Settings - Display Settings". Probably to allow enabling the "Next Song" bar when it's not already shown.
3. I had to search for quite a while until I found the clock settings in the pop-up menu bottom left in the overlay menu. I don't understand why the clock settings are located there and not in "Settings - Display Settings". It's totally logical for me that song specific settings like "Crop", "Rearrange pages" and so on have to be opened from the overlay menu but I don't understand why general display settings like the clock or "Night Mode" are located there instead of in "Settings - Display Settings".
So my proposal: combine the clock and the "Next Song" bar settings into an "Indicator" settings window that is opened from "Settings - Display Settings", replacing the current "Show Next Song Indicator" there and remove the "Next Song Settings" button from the "Next Song" bar and the clock settings from the popup on the overlay.
I could imagine that more information exists that are useful to be displayed in such a more general "Indicator" bar, maybe even a combination of the existing title bar, the next song indicator and the clock.

Can I change the time format? On some devices the time is displayed in 24 h format, others show it as AM/PM
It seems to be depending on the display language, with display language German MobileSheets uses 24 h format, with display language English it uses AM/PM. That should not be the case, I switch the MobileSheets display language frequently between German and English. Best would be a specific setting within MobileSheets. E.g. in Windows time format settings are independent of the display language.

I'm using a built-in component for the time which drives whether the 12 hour or 24 hour format should be used. Google's documentation says the 12 vs 24 hour time is based both on the locale and "user's other preferences". So I don't know if this is something you can change in the main tablet settings, but if so, then that change would be respected in MobileSheets. Can I add a setting to forcefully pick 12 vs 24 hour? Yes, I can do that.

The current behaviour is NOT depending on a device setting, neither on Android nor on Win10. It changes when I change the UI language of MobileSheets. So yes, a setting in MobileSheets to force a specific time format would imho be the way to go.
