Help requested, please!
I have one large .pdf file (235 pages) of an entire piano/vocal score, with annotations, etc. done in MSP. In performance, having loaded the large .pdf, I play non-stop from beginning to end. I've marked each song within as a bookmark, just for rehearsal porpoises. I use a firefly pedal (connected with USB cable) to turn pages.
The problem is that the rendering of the pages (2 page mode), particularly the 2nd page, is slow. Thus, my question is, what's the best solution to achieve faster rendering?
- Will individual, smaller .pdfs render faster, or will having to allow for load time of each .pdf negate any benefit? (Is it even possible to pre-load 24 .pdfs?)
- If I'm able to devide the original large .pdf into smaller, individual .pdfs, is it possible to transfer the annotations used in for that section (song) to the new individual .pdfs?
- If I keep the original large .pdf but split it into smaller .pdfs within MSP (which will still reference the original large file, I believe), would that help increase render time?
Thanks very much for any suggestions!
