Hi Ecki,
I administer the song library on the master tablet. From there i produce "backup" files, either with the tablet's general settings (for real backup) or without (for later import on the slave tablet) and draw those from my administration PC, a linux box. To synchronize, I push the backup file without tablet settings from the PC to the slave and replace its complete present library by the backup. After that the boxes are aligned to serve the songs in alternate paging mode (odd pages on the left, even pages on the right tablet). I hold the complete library on both devices, but the factor of two file sizes don't really matter.
Being a slightly legasthenic score reader (learnt score reading too late, presumably) I put some coloured dots at reasonable paging places on to the sheets, typically at less involved passages or pauses in my voice. This is especially suggested if there are repetitions spanning the page boundaries. Then you can get lost in pagination quite easily without respective visual aids.
If I'm in a hurry I make annotations on both visible pages - remembering that only the ones on the left/master tablet will make it into the redistributed "backup". If there is enough time I transfer the remarks on the even pages asap to the master anew as manual copy: in editing mode you can paginate through the "wrong" pages as well and input your remarks there, too. This *is* some additional workload, but I accept that, not seeing how to do without.
The backup/restoring procedure for about 200 songs takes just some seconds. The round trip (master backup to PC, upload to slave) takes less than a minute. I regard that as sufficiently fast.
Cheers,
Petra

Playing classical music on a wind controller hobby-wise - and tired of carrying around tons of paper sheets.
