Scroll Amount UI bug
#1
The action bar for each piece page contains an Automatic Scroll Settings selection, and in it a "Scroll Amount" box to set the % of the screen to be scrolled when a scroll event is triggered.

The MobileSheets general Settings also allows access to setting the scroll amount in the same way via MobileSheets Settings -> Touch & Pedal Settings -> Touch Actions, where there is the line and box for "Scroll Amount".

These do not coordinate.  In fact, it appears that only the one under MobileSheets Settings has any effect.

On the Chromebook (and so on Andriod?), there is no setting for the Scroll Amount under the general MobileSheets setting.

So on the Chromebook, you do this setting in one place, and on Windows you can do it in two, but only one of them counts -- and it's not the same as the one on the Chromebook.  I don't know if this feature is supposed to be application-wide or to be page-specific.  I can see arguments supporting both -- or to have the app-wide one be the default, alterable on a per-page basis.

But none of that seems to be working quite right on Windows.

I'm afraid I really don't follow. There are settings you can save per-song in regards to the automatic scrolling feature, then there are scroll settings you can save under the touch actions but that's only if you have set one of the touch actions to use a scroll action. The same setting for the scrolling is shared for the pedal actions, but only if you've set one of the pedal actions to use a scroll action like "Scroll Down or Turn Page if at Bottom". If you set the scroll amount to 15% for one, it is 15% for the other, as they are driving the same underlying global setting. I have tested this and it works fine, so I need to understand what you mean when you say only one has an effect.

Thanks,
Mike

I think I see what you're saying.  And that likely explains the discrepancy I'm seeing between the Chromebook and Windows instances at the moment.  However, I'm currently left with the behavior on Windows that if I change the scroll amount in the song, this appears to have no effect; while if I save it in the "global" settings it does.

I've only noticed this because I've had to add touch settings to to work around the recent death of my AirTurn DUO battery.  That involved setting touch actions to do the scrolling.  So setting touch actions to use a scroll action is exactly what I've had to do.  I'll recheck everything in light of what you've just said, and let you know.  It's possible I just wasn't paying careful enough attention to what I thought was/wasn't scrolling, and by how much.  Confused  I'll let you know, and if I continue to have the problem, I'll post screen shots.

If when you say "the scroll settings in the song" you are referring to the automatic scrolling settings, those are only applied if you are starting/stopping automatic scrolling (either with the pedal or through another mechanism). If you are triggering a different scroll action with the pedal, such as "Scroll down or turn page if at bottom", that does not use the song scroll settings at all. It uses the settings shown on the pedal actions screen.
