Well, not really. I overstated a little. It's my first post, after all.
My problem is simple, as is hopefully the solution. I do a lot of arranging for a band. When I print PDFs and import them into MobileSheets Pro, the sun come out and all is well. Until I update my charts after a rehearsal or gig (and this happens a lot...I'm very active arranging). Of course the file names are the same, but the date modified is different...just a new version...
When I import the charts, I always end up with duplicate entries in my songs list. Perhaps I'm not doing it right. This happens with the Companion, importing from my tablet via Dropbox, etc.
Here's my ideal process. Tell me if it's flawed:
1. I print PDFs of my new arrangment of "Dark Eyes"
2. I upload parts to my tablet
3. The sun shines, children laugh, etc.
4. I modify my scores and produce new PDFs with the SAME FILE NAMES as the old ones
5. I import new files into MSP with "Replace All", figuring this will in fact replace the tunes
6. Weep upon opening my app and seeing multiple versions listed of Dark Eyes
I want to fill in the information like composer, key, etc., of Dark Eyes and have confidence in the future that this data will be preserved and that I'll only have one entry for Dark Eyes, the newest PDF.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any help you may lend.
