Maybe I haven't understood the question, but if each member is backing up their own library, wouldn't it be easier for each member to add their name to the file name, e.g. George_Drum_MobileSheets_2025-01-26.msb?

That's how I differentiate between the various instrument library back-ups on my devices e.g. 1st_trombone_2025-1-26.msb, 2nd_trombone_2025-1-26.msb etc.

And what append if user forget ?
I read some post about difficultys to manage band with Mobile Sheets...

Having a shared drive is confortable for the conductor ...

At some point I could try to support a formatting option for the default backup name, but this is not a trivial thing to add, so I'm not sure what the timeline will be for that. If more users request it, that can help with determining priorities.

Users don't belive in forum requests, i mean.A request is usefull or not...Lot of users asked for a memory of default backup directory, but nothing append.

This appears to be a band problem, rather than a MobileSheets issue. It's very easy to give each back-up a unique name, as I've described. It's as easy as renaming a Windows file, which has been happening for decades. If the individual band members can't manage to do that (or even forget their own names), perhaps they shouldn't be using MobileSheets in the first place and should go back to paper music, or the librarian (or conductor) should be in charge of all the tablets.

How is your music library managed? My own band's paper library is, to a great extent, now digitised to *.pdf format. Each separate piece of music is broken down into parts and each part is prefixed with a number, so for example, 2 Flute Beatles Medley.pdf, 3 Oboe Beatles Medley.pdf, 4 Eb Clarinet Beatles Medley.pdf and so on through the instruments to 26 Mallet Percussion Beatles Medley.pdf. If your band members can't remember their own names, they only need to remember the number for their own instrument and use that a a prefix for their personal back-up. Using the numerical method would enable anyone in the band to find the relative back-up for any instrument.

As for members not believing in forum requests, Mike has developed and improved MS over the years, incorporating useful suggestions and requests from members, where that has been practicable. He hasn't, however, been able to develop a a method of getting the app to hold the user's hand. There is, however, a very comprehensive user manual.
