That's strange - synchronizing to iCloud is generally very fast. For it to hang like that means it's not able to verify that the file has actually been transferred to the iCloud folder and it's waiting for it to finish uploading.
As far as your question, forScore and MobileSheets took very different approaches to synchronization. forScore implemented it to allow users to keep their own devices in sync easier. MobileSheets first implemented synchronization for bands so that users can share songs, setlists, changes, etc. That means that libraries may not be identical, and so there are more options for how to handle merging changes, and that's why it's not automatic. I do plan on eventually supporting an option to automatically synchronize to the cloud for users that just want to keep their own devices in sync, and this will have next to no options (as it will just force every device to be identical). Running the synchronization in the background always introduces challenges though, especially in situations where multiple devices could be trying to push/pull changes at once.
Can you try closing and restarting MobileSheets and restarting that sync to see if it then finishes quickly? Or you could try a different service from iCloud. I'm really not sure why you are encountering issues though (I just completed a sync to iCloud on my iPad and it took around 20 seconds with a small library).
