Hello everyone

I clicked something, and now LRC is stuck in an unfamiliar screen. How do I get out of this????

Thank you for your patience and help!

    It looks like the Secondary Display window appeared on top of, and is now blocking, the usual application window. If you don’t see the usual red close button at the top left corner, then that means the Secondary Display window is also open in full screen mode*. Here are the ways to close it so that you can see the main application window again:

    • Choose the submenu Window > Secondary Display and then deselect the Show command. 
    • Press the Show command’s keyboard shortcut (Command+F11)

    *Secondary Display full screen mode is toggled by the menu command Window > Secondary Display > Full Screen

     

    As to how the Secondary Display window appeared accidentally, you might have unintentionally pressed that keyboard shortcut, or a stray click might have hit the Secondary Display icon in the filmstrip, circled in the picture below.

    You’ve opened the Secondary Display window (normally used with a second display). To close it, do the menu command Window > Secondary Display > Show (unchecking the menu item Show). Or type the keyboard shortcut Cmd F11.
