An idea for "next gen" MobileSheets-
The ability to transpose a chart live, real-time on the tablet would be huge. MusicXML files would be logical foundation for this in my own very-limited view.
I have 2 other app's which kinda-sorta do this (MuseScore Songbook, PhonicScore Like+). But there are various issues with these. The major one for my use is that the page rendering is very primitive and offers almost no user control. Even a simple thing like rendering using the linebreaks (<print new-system="yes"> in MusicXML) is not there. And beyond that, I'd rather not have my score spread out across more than 1 app and MobileSheets appears the most mature, best support, etc.
I don't know how hard it is to "render" a MusicXML file into a PDF, or straight onto the screen, but if it's more expedient to "get there" by pushing the MusicXML into PDF first, so be it.
Thanks for a great app + for considering it.
