Newbie questions (working with the band etc)
#2
I think ChordPro is a great option, as you can easily transpose, and there are a lot of great features, but I'm currently lacking a few features you would probably want access to including the ability to display chord diagrams and insert images. You can insert images using the annotation editor though, but that takes a few extra steps, so you'd have to gauge whether this is worth it compared to your current approach.

With hindsight, both my current app and MobileSheets seem to be quite Android-centric with iOS as an afterthought (at least on the current app)

The reason for this is I wanted a consistent UI across all platforms so that users on each platform can easily work together. Often users need to teach other users about features in the app, and if the UI wasn't consistent across Android and iOS, this would most likely cause struggles for users in this situation. I do have some iOS-specific functionality though, such as being able to two finger drag on lists to select multiple entries, drag entries right/left to reveal actions, etc.

What I'd like to understand is if one of us creates a set list for a gig and shares it, can each of us upload our own charts to be viewed during the gig?

Yes, you can absolutely do that. The "Connect Tablets" feature matches on song titles by default, but it won't care about the underlying file matching. You can also configure it to match on other fields such as Custom if desired. So each user would just need to import the PDF for their instrument, and ensure the song title that is used matches everyone else.

I should mention that you can set up multiple libraries/databases (Settings->Library Settings->Switch Library) which can be useful when working with multiple bands, but you will want to make sure to use unique filenames across bands to avoid file conflicts. I currently don't support an option to isolate storage (i.e. use a different subdirectory) per library, so that's why each file has to have a unique name. An option to isolate storage is going to be added very soon, as I know a fair number of users want that.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Mike
