MobileSheetsPro version 2.5.1 has been released and the update contains a significant number of bug fixes and new functionality. Some of the main goals of this update were to address reported issues with synchronizing a library to Google Drive or OneDrive, to add support for MIDI on ChromeOS, to add support for MIDI over bluetooth, and to add the ability to crossfade audio between different songs in a setlist. With the new MIDI functionality, users can now find additional selections under Settings->MIDI Settings->Configure MIDI Connections if their device is running Android 4.4 or higher. Users can also select USB or bluetooth when using the default MIDI library or Google's MIDI library. Users on ChromeOS devices must select the Google MIDI library in order to connect to their devices due to restrictions in the OS.
