Hello Mike,
thank you for your answer. In the meantime I found, that I can rename "custom_groups" to "Instrument" in the settings which is sufficient
This would be very useful. For now (I'm just starting) it's more for correcting import errors. Assume, you have a PDF with 20 parts in it and there's is a wrong pagenumber. A re-import generates 20 additional entries in the songlist. So, how to get rid of the duplicates and wrong parts?
What happens when a PDF is edited? Let's say there were new pages added at the end of the document. Will already added songs/parts be correct? What about comments/annotations? Still in the right place?
For now, I don't let mobilesheets copy the original files because I can't see an advantage in having duplicate files. Therefore I consider the CSV file as a pre-database definition of what's in the files. Some of the files may be updated or changed ... with the need for a re-import of a new CSV-definition. I understand that a re-import maybe quite tricky if one wants to obtain existing information and avoid duplicates, at the same time.

Quote: Be careful with importing a new version of a PDF that is shared by many songs, as a problem will be created if the page numbers no longer correctly line up.

Quote: I am also planning on adding an option to not share a single PDF when using the CSV import feature and instead generating a PDF for each song that is selected.
