Public bug reported:

Version 1.9.9 (Windows XP Home)

Basically, I miss a feature from the older 1.x versions wherein it was
possible to clear the preview pane. I often accidentally preview
something, and then to have it staying on the screen with no way to
remove it easily can be distracting. Furthermore, some of our less
experienced operators get confused by it, and try to change the verses
there instead of in the live pane.

I realise it is possible to just hide the preview pane, but I'd rather
just be able to clear it.

I also see a good argument for it clearing itself after either going
live with it or adding it to the service. I think this is a natural
thing that you preview something and then you take an action based on
that.

1) Go live. If it's live, it doesn't need to be in the preview pane any
longer, since it's now in the Live pane. It should basically just "hop
across".

2) Add to service: The user has decided that they want this song, and so
they add it to the service. They are probably finished previewing the
song, so I think it's safe to clear the preview (and users will become
accustomed to this).

3) Just clear the preview. It wasn't the song you wanted, you're done
searching for songs, etc, you just want it out of the way.

4) Edit the item. You preview it and decide it needs some changes, you
make the changes and then you'll want to preview those changes. After
which you'll again probably want to do one of action 1/2/3/4.
