Hi All, I have entered 31 song lyric files into the library page and have edited each file by manually entering the duration of the song.  I do not have any audio files, only the lyric pdf files. I went into Library Settings and checked the box for display setlist duration.  I left the audio files box unchecked, as I have no audio files. When I select my setlist, it shows the name up at the top with the number of songs in parentheses.  But I don't see the setlist duration anywhere.  Any ideas about what I should do?  I didn't think I would have to add up all the numbers I entered for each file.  I thought MobileSheets would do it somehow.

Hi all,

Second post - ever - and in the same day!

Given the extensive options for autoscroll, I am wondering why there isn't an option for starting the scrolling when I start a/the track. That's when the...music starts, right?

Other than my other post about incidental music which would have possibly 2 tracks for a single pdf, I would have thought that starting the scrolling when the TRACK starts would have been a no-brainer.

Am i missing some use-case more obvious or basic?

Thanks in advance, all!
John

Hi all,

I use MSP for playing backing tracks while reading associated .pdfs in a live gig atmosphere.
I would like to begin playing "incidental/transition music" between songs so there is not complete silence while I switch instruments, dial in a patch, etc.
It would be something like a background beat with a riff going - something low-key.
Ideally, it could be the same song/track/mp3 and that would be configured globally to play between songs, but I don't believe that's possible.

However, I thought maybe I could go into each and every song and add the transition music mp3(s) as a second track and save.
Then, presumably because I have "automatically play next track" set to ON and have the audio player set Track List to "current song's tracks"" instead of "all tracks in setlist" then it would do this for me.
And then, when I am ready, I can go to the next song and hit play. 
(As I write this I then think - hmm...when I turn the page to the next song, it will cut off - UGH.)

Anyway, I tried this, but when the first (real song) completes, it does not go to the next audio file.

Does anyone know what's happening and why it doesn't begin playing the next track?

Or maybe more importantly,  anyone know the best way to do automatic transition music?

MSP 3.9.11 - just updated and tested again
Not using advanced audio player 
Thanks in advance,

(later edit)  For anyone just looking for how to access & enter Setlist Notes - see answer #4 below.  The 3 replies following that also shed some light.

Hi, I'm likely just missing something obvious...I'm building my first setlist for actual use at a gig, and wish to use this feature.  But I'm not seeing how to enter these notes.  I've opened my setlist & hit the Edit link at the top...got my list of songs...but unable to see how to enter notes.    I've also scoured Settings with the top-right link...maybe these are context-specific & I haven't hit the link when at the correct place?

If there's a youtube tutorial or another post, a link to it would be fine.  Thanks!

Android 14 tablet
Yamaha PSR-SX900
Lexato Midi Interface
Mobile Sheets Pro version 3.9.11

MSP Settings:
Midi Settings >
Allow Page Control With Pitch Bend (Checked) > 
Pitch Bend Channel (All) > 
Use The One Based Numbering for pitch bend (Unchecked)

With this set up, when I flip the joystick to the right, the page turns to the right (page 2) Perfect.
When I flip the joystick to the left, the page turns to the left (page 1) but flips back to page 2 when I leave go of the joystick. Not good

I'm almost there but can't figure out how to fix the left joystick page turn problem.

Related: the latest MSP update (3.9.11) makes face gesture page turning better, more sensitive. I may use that method or a bluetooth foot pedal.
Many options and that's what great about Mobile Sheets

Thanks

I have MSP 3.7.6 and it no longer responds to long press on song name to edit the song to rename, attach an mp3 file midi files etc.  Please help as I have tried hard to get it to work again.  Thanks

My Amazon Fire tablet was automatically updated today to 3.9.11. I updated the companion app on my pc. It is now 4.1.2. When I attempt to connect my tablet to companion, I get the message from the tablet: "The version of the companion app is out of date. At least version 4.1.3 is required." I check for updates on the companion and it says: "Mobilesheets Companion is up to date. No updates are available." So I can't use the companion app.

Hi all,

got a new tablet and when I recover from my online library backup, the datestring is now in every song's title...
e.g. [2024-05-13 14:26:38] - The Beatles - Hey Jude

Any way to change the settings so it would only show the real title, not that first date-time info?

Thanks for tips!

Hi,
I noticed new behaviour;  the tracks I've added to pieces from companion seem to end up in the top level directory.
So:
a song is in /emulated/0/music/mobilesheets/songname/
I connect and find "songname" in companion, add from PC etc. 
When I look in the song on the App, the track is in /emulated/0/music/
consequentually, is not backed-up to cloud etc.
If I go into the song in the app, add the track from /emulated/0/music/, OK and then check, the track is correctly copied to /emulated/0/music/mobilesheets/songname/

From Settings/Storage I have selected: "Create Subdirectories for Pieces" "let mobilesheets manage my files" "cøpy Audio Files"
Companion on windows 10,
App on Android (up to date)

I only just noticed the other day, but I suspect it's new since the big update to companion.

I regularly sync from mobilesheets pro on my android tablet to a google drive folder.  ("sync type" is "update folder", "merge behavior" is "always use data from device", checkboxes are all checked except "sync text display settings").

The other day I accidentally deleted a few files from the google drive folder.

I assumed I should be able to fix the problem by doing another sync.  But that doesn't seem to replace the missing files.

Is that expected?

Worst case, I suppose I can always figure out what the missing files are and copy them over manually, or delete the google drive folder and start over.
