  ChordPro: missing line
Posted by: itsme - 07-22-2025, 01:20 AM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) - Replies (1)

On my Boox Tab Ultra C I came again a certain lyrics line that is not shown. I'm afraid an old weakness of rendering ChordPro files that I reported years ago is back again: https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...-3616.html
       
Same device, same ChordPro source. I only changed Lyric Size and Chord Size in Text Display Settings between these two screenshots.

I'm really concerned, such a missing line is really confusing. I'm currently working on this song, so there are frequent small changes and I cannot check all the time if all lines are shown. I had this issue at least twice, but cannot reproduce it reliably.

  Synchronizing shared music library for two people
Posted by: ronnie - 07-21-2025, 04:52 PM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi all,

maybe someone can help us implementing the following:

Me and my husband have a large shared collection of sheet music. I spent a lot of time putting meta data on the sheet music, so I have a nicely sorted MobileSheets library now.
Our goal is that my husband uses the same library (pdfs, meta data, audio), but is still be able to add his own annotations without seeing mine.

Our idea is that I regularly synchronize my library to a Drive folder which I share with my husband, who can import this folder without importing my notes. Then he backups his library (which is my pdfs + his annotations) to a different location. Is that feasible or has anyone a better long-term solution?

Another problem might be that he already added a lot of the sheet music I also have to his Mobile Sheets app, but with different pdf names. How can he keep his annotations? Is there maybe a way to "copy" his annotations manually to the newly imported, sorted sheet music?

Thanks y'all!


Edit: 
I did some more tests. Sharing a Google Drive folder doesn't work because MobileSheets only has access to "normal" Drive files, not shared ones. Alternatively, I could export my whole library as .msb file and give it to my husband regularly.
I tried that on a test data set but couldn't figure out so far how to tackle annotations. I am willing to move all of his annotations manually in the beginning (those are around 50 songs) but afterwards, library updates should be automatic. No matter what I tried, I always ended up having his annotations deleted or not editable anymore.

Edit 2:
The best way I found so far is as follows: 
1) My husband exports the file wih annotations
2) He imports my .msb file containing the same song with nice meta data / audio
3) He goes into the songs settings, chooses "swap files" and chooses his annotated file
This solves ALMOST everything. Sadly, his annotations are then not editable anymore (and if the setting "allow editing of embedded PDF annotations" is checked, the whole page gets a grey-ish tint and behaves weirdly)


  Dropbox always asks for login when MS tries to sync and does not sync libraries
Posted by: Miguel G - 07-21-2025, 02:26 AM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) - Replies (5)

This is a new problem for me, and I haven't figured out what the motive is yet.

I have MS 3.9.17 running on one machine with Windows 11 and on another machine with Android 14, and have always synced them using cloud sync through Dropbox. I am a long-time user of Dropbox, which I use on a daily basis for professional and personal purposes. I do most of my editing in the MS running on Windows, but use the MS running on Android to read scores while playing. And so far (to date) I have never had a problem syncing MS in both machines.

Today, however, the following is happening:

  1.       On the Windows machine, syncing MS with the Dropbox folder runs without any problems.
  2.       However, on the Android device, syncing MS with the Dropbox folder does not work. Here are the steps I am taking to try to do this sync:
  • Select “Sync Library” from the three-dot menu.
  • Select “Synchronize to a cloud folder” from the “Choose Type of Synchronization” menu .
  • Press the “Start” button (note that the folder is already, and correctly, selected from previous (and successful) syncs).
  • A browser opens a page at an address that starts with “dropbox.com/1/ connect…”. On this page there is a box with the text “MobileSheetsPro would like access to the files and folders in your Dropbox.” And with two buttons, one for “Cancel” and another for “Allow”.
  • I press the “Allow” button and the screen returns to the “Folder Sync Activity” page of MS. But the synchronization does not start, and nothing happens. I can leave this screen by selecting “Close” in the top right corner, which takes me to the MS main screen.
When I repeat these steps, the result is always the same. So I am not able to synchronize both machines as intended.

Does anyone know what might be happening here?
Thank you.


  Link Points
Posted by: itsme - 07-18-2025, 07:43 AM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) - Replies (4)

I recently became aware that link points can be helpful to jump or scroll to a specific position of a score.
Playing around with link points I noticed some issues:
- It would be nice if I could move link points that are already created. Sometimes the position of a link point or its destination just needs a small correction. Moving would be much easier as deleting and re-creating. It has been mentioned here https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...11763.html that this is not yet possible. Is this still the case?
- Link points are given different colours automatically. The yellow one is pretty hard to see
   
The screenshot has been taken on a Win10 device, it's even worse on my Boox Tab Ultra C.
Could you please improve the visibility? Thank you


  MSP on Boox eink device, specifically Note Max 13.3?
Posted by: ssmms - 07-17-2025, 10:38 PM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) Discussion - Replies (1)

Does anyone have any experience with annotation on the Boox e-ink devices? From some Reddit post a few years ago it seemed there were lag and ghosting issues. Technology has improved much since then; so am hoping it’s better.

I’m specifically looking for advice on the note max 13.3. It uses the most recent Carta 1300 dpi technology.


  Android to PC & Monitor
Posted by: bphigginsmoe - 07-17-2025, 06:11 AM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) Discussion - No Replies

The church I work at just installed a new Viscount Organ.  To this point, I have always used 2 tablets (a Lenovo Tab P12 and a large Onn), but I am wondering about switching to a PC and a large (27") monitor that would sit on the music rack.  Does anyone have experience using this kind of setup?  Any pros or cons?  Thanks!


  Copy Smart buttons to another song
Posted by: McAroni - 07-16-2025, 09:06 PM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) - Replies (2)

Hi Mike,
I don't know if this question has been asked before....
is it somehow possible for me to copy created smart buttons to another song? 
I use smart buttons to start mp3 files and also to set the start position. as I often have to play different parts of the same song, I have to create new smart buttons for each part.
I have found a way to copy the song and replace the pdf, but then I have duplicate songs where the metadata is not correct.


  Editing Work Flow Guidance
Posted by: fourstringstwowheels@gmail.com - 07-13-2025, 10:23 PM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) - Replies (18)

I am the bass player for a Ukelele group. The leader creates PDF song sheets with chords and lyrics.
I wish to edit these in mobile sheets ( Samsung S10 FE android 15) to create 'gaps' in the existing PDF so I can then manually insert annotations that are my 4 string bass tabs.
Mobile sheets would seem to offce the promsie of this, but I am struggling.

I read a post that said create a blank PDF outside of mobile sheets, I then imported this, copied it to becmome my bass tab song ( I thought) and started pasting in snippets and adding annotations. Opy it faina for the next song etc.. But when I review what I believe were separately edited songs they are all jumbled up / overwritten and i have lost all my work.

I also saw a post that perhaps they had to be in the same set list ?
So created a set-list 'bass tabs' added the uke songs and my blank master and tried again.
When I edited one songs the snippets had been added to all songs.
The results are so confusing I must be approaching this all wrong...

I have read several post and answers and watched some video and realise there is complexity in terms of songs/files/pdf/snippets/annotation and how these exist as objects in the application.
However I am not finding a workflow by play or following what I'd intuitively expect as technical steps.
Please please put me straight on an appropriate workflow and ease my pain.


  Slow resolution of link going back 5 pages
Posted by: alanmcorcoran - 07-12-2025, 04:59 PM - Forum: MobileSheets (Android) - Replies (1)

I looked for posts re this going back four years. Apologize if a dupe.
I have a PDF (Million Dreams.) It's a lot of pages, maybe as much as 11.  At one point the piece has repeat wherein you retreat from page 7 back to page 2.  when you press the pedal, everything goes dark for, like a second or so, and (eventually), the correct page displays.  So, in effect, everything is working as it should.  However, the delay is too long for a nice transition.  Worse, the part it goes to on page 2 is the last measure on the page, so, by the time it displays, you already need to be on page 3.
I tried deleting the links and reentering, rearranging, etc. to no effect.
I don't have a lot of pdfs this long and usually, repeats just go back 2-3 pages, so maybe it always does this.
I'm on an old Samsung T900 with an obsolete Android version.  (Yes, I've considered updating, but, I have two, and the things are pricey and... well they still work even though they are 11 years old!)
Anybody else have this issue?  Any tips or tricks to speed up the resolution of the link?
