Until release 2022.0 this was not possible. Starting with 2024.0 it is: Allow multiple selection in song database.

> Hi, We are using Quelea 2018. I assume there are natural benefits of updating to the 2024 release. As a compelte novice at Quelea, can anyone send me any information about how to update? When to update? (I assume I can backup the settings first and reinitiate those later?) Many thanks.

It says:  
“If you want to be sure you don’t lose anything, then backup your “.quelea” folder in your home directory first. If you’re on windows, it’ll be somewhere like “C:\users\USERNAME.quelea”. (This way if anything does go wrong, you can just reinstall 2018.0, copy that directory back in place and you won’t have lost anything.”
