Can anyone give me some direction on creating scrolling text on a matrix. Im attempting to program a new FM tune to sign. I have 6 64 pixel strings with 1 fold on a 1x1 holiday Coro grid. I would like to have the top and bottom row of the matrix a solid color. Using 5 rows for a solid tune to 96.5fm. The other 5 rows I would like to scroll the title and artist that’s playing. Im struggling getting this configuration to work and look good. Any guidance appreciated.

So I'm gathering that the matrix is 12 rows by 32 columns.  Really too small to get two lines of text - especially losing the top and bottom rows.

As for doing it in S6, the two rows of text would each be a Motion Effects.  Each of those would be a text type with the text and the position adjusted for the upper or lower part of the matrix.

Here's my TuneTo signs (as stored in my family room).  The upper one is a P10 matrix that is 48 pixels high and 128 pixels wide.  the bottom one is a P5 matrix that is 64 pixels high and 192 pixels wide.  If your browser does not embed the image, there is a link directly to is below the photo.
