Ok @codingjoe it looks like this is coming back to the screen selection issue. When you start MusicBeam the stage always selects the macs internal screen (even if i set the primary screen to be the external one).

If i implement the fix stated here: #40 (comment) then the correct screen is selected and the resolution set correctly.

If i do not fix the code moving the stage to the external screen leaves it at the original horizontal resolution of the screen that it appears to start with, vertically it fills the screen though. This does look like its a framework issue.

@pablocullen I believe this is a framework issue too :/

For anyone else having this issue, I found a simple fix.
With projector connected, make that screen the primary screen by opening System Preference > Displays > Arrangement and dragging the menu bar to the projector display.
You can move the dock back to the laptop screen by moving the mouse to that screen and dragging the mouse down to the bottom of the screen, the dock should then appear.
Once that is done you can move your windows back to the laptop screen (or open Mission control (F3/pinch out on trackpad) and drag the second display window back to the main one).
Now open MusicBeam and the black screen will default to the projector, and you can move the control window by activating mission control and dragging it to the other screen.
