Hey topdog91, it seemes more sensible to answer your questions here than back on the guitar forum.
As for Google Docs format, I cannot find in the MobileSheets User Guide that it can import the Google format, so I do as IanMSpencer does and save songs as PDFs.
As you are currently saving songs on Google Drive, I would stick with that, just using PDFs.
Sorry, I have not looked at ChordPro so cannot help there.
Donner page turner pedal. I have a different pedal but I find it works equally well with iOS and Android.
You asked: 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? My band has space on Google Drive and anyone can upload their PDFs which can then be seen and downloaded by all band members, regardless of which OS they use.
You asked: Somehow I upload my crib sheet, bassist uploads his crib sheet, keyboard player uploads his proper notation, then during the gig each of us sees the relevant upload? In my band's case, we can all see the shared Google Drive space so everyone can see all the uploads. It takes an agreed naming convention for it to work. I manage the space so tend to do some housekeeping when someone has misspelled or otherwise not followed our agreed naming format.
You asked: how would it work if I play that song in another band? I add what is necessary to the filename as it is immediately visible but Mike has mentioned above how you can use the naming and filtering options within MobileSheets.
You asked: does the band synchronization feature rely on everyone reading the same chart for a given song? In my band the answer is yes but that's because My wife (piano) and I (drums) have transcribed all the songs as lead sheets (melody, chords, lyrics) so we don't yet have anyone wanting other information. I add my comments to help me within MobileSheets. I have come to really appreciate the ability to add comments (and sometimes to mark things that need correcting).
