I manage a big band, and what I really want to be able to do is manage my band's entire library on a library PC (this may include things like adding new charts, removing charts, or updating a chart that is on file), and then have a means for the tablet to connect to the PC and sync the internal database to what is contained on the PC.
To be clear, I want to be able to maintain the parts in a common location for the full 17 piece band, and allow any of the user tablets to connect to that location and sync their specific parts - I might name a tablet "SAX1" for instance, and when the Sax1 tablet connects, I'd like to have an option to sync it to the master.
This is needed because individual musicians will have their tablets at home to practice/annotate, etc, and I'd like them to be able to get any library updates when they come in and set up for rehearsal - make sense?
Lots more I'd like from a band management standpoint, like creating a common setlist, and slave mode for tablets to allow the leader to call parts open on all tablets, but this would be a good start.
