I may eventually support pulling songs directly from Ultimate-Guitar, but I would have to find time to write all the code to perform searches on the website and scour through the results and analyze the text on the pages to pull in the lyrics and chords. It's not a small undertaking.
As far as allowing the database to be copied outside the default storage location, yes, I could support having it copy out, but I can't really support having it copy the file back into the default storage location, as I don't want to have to set up a file monitor to try to see if changes occur externally and then forcefully replace and reload the database every time this occurs. It just opens up a can of worms that could result in outcomes that are undesirable for some users if I'm messing with the database like that. I'd much prefer to just wait until MobileSheets is converted to a normal desktop application so that I don't have all the same file restrictions. Then I could just store the database in the storage location with all the other song files and you could set that as your sync folder.
