It would be a great improvement if MIDI could be sent from mobile sheets pro when a song is unloaded.

Right now, it is possible to turn on an effect or something by sending MIDI CC when loading a song - which is great!
But it is not possible to turn off the effect when unloading the song by sending the "reverse" MIDI CC.

Example: I turn on the delay(echo) effect in the mixer via MIDI CC when loading a specific song.
But when returning to the song list, I have to turn off the delay manually. 
I work around this with a smart button "delay off" in the song, which I have to press before leaving the song.
But if I forget, there is no way to turn off the delay unless I return to the song I just finished.

I'll write up an issue in my bug tracking system to look into supporting that once time allows. I can certainly see the value in that.

Thanks,

Great, looking forward to it

btw: Fantastic app! Have been working with it for six years now, and will never go back to paper sheets...

Just a little reminder...
This is still my only wish for the next release!
My MIDI setup is growing, and it is all controlled via mobile sheets. Works great. If I could only send MIDI messages when leaving a song...

You could add a smart button to trigger that in the meantime. Just tap the button before leaving the song and it would unload things for you. This request never received any support from any other users, so I can't raise its priority above requests that I'm frequently getting and features that I promised to implement a long time ago. So while it's still in my list of things to do, it will probably not get added in any of the next few updates. The issue is that this will require database and UI changes, so it's not something I can just slipt into an update, and it creates an incompatibility between versions, which I try to only do periodically as I get 50-100 emails each time this happens because users get confused about how to update the app on their device.  There has to be a way to configure each MIDI command to say whether it should be triggered when the song is loaded, versus when it is "unloaded". So I could add another toggle like the existing two for this, but that will still require database changes to track the new field, and code to process the new field. The smart button approach I mentioned will accomplish the same goal - it just requires that you manually trigger the button at the end of the song.

If more people throw their weight behind needing this, then I can certainly raise its priority and get it implemented sooner.

Hello dear Mike
With the same idea, it will be fine to tell that turning a page of  a  pdf to the next page automatically trigger a single smart button  on this "next page" to  get  a  midi  program change per page
It's difficult  for  a guitarist to perform the triggering of the  midi  program change smart  button with the two  hands  buzy when a pedal page  turner could allow this  PC  easyly
Buts  perhaps  this exist  and  i  have not find  it ?
Could  it be a solution for  the topic  telling the  smart button to do  the  job  when the  last page is  turned  off?
Thank you
Cheers

I have considered adding an option to turn pages and trigger smart buttons kind of like the existing pedal action to turn pages or trigger link points. This would provide the functionality you need.

Thank you Mike for this quick reactive  answer
This feature will be so kind
No more  pdf to explode in multipages to  get a  Program Change per page (ouf) 
with my best regards

Just been using MS for a couple of weeks now, and can't say enough about the quality of this tool! Very Flexible.  I would do a plus one to this request of a universal way of sending a MIDI command when 'leaving a song' to reset. Again, a 'nice to have', but not a deal breaker. Thought maybe I could program one of my pedals to send that command, but doesn't appear to be the case??  Keep up the great work.

You can't send a MIDI message from a pedal directly, but you can have a pedal trigger a smart button which sends the MIDI command, accomplishing the same goal. Supporting this is still on my (very large) list of things to do though.

Fair enough, I understand those 'To Do' lists can get out of control in development. I did see the Smart Button option, but it is the same issue in that I'd have to add it to every song in my library. Would it be an easier dev task to make a 'universal' Smart Button?  ie, create the button once and apply to all songs?

[Zubersoft]

Supporting a new toggle to send on song leave (or however you want to word it) is easier than that (although I need to add a new database column for this). Smart buttons have to be positioned somewhere on each page, and each page can be completely different sizes, so there really wouldn't be a good way to handle adding a button to every page in the entire library (unless it's just anchored to a specific size with a margin, but that still requires a new UI for configuring, and all the code to update every song in the entire library to add a button). This is also not really something that I imagine would be useful to most users, but if lots of users ask for it, I can always consider it.
