Hi OzCello, your replies have been very helpful, as has Mike's. I've taken a while to respond as I've been working through setting my libraries up.
In order to be able to use follower / leader function , I ended up creating four separate folders for parts in Dropbox and giving each the same file name exactly.
I have then created four libraries on my tablet, and batch imported each part's library from dropbox. Only done a test on my tablet and phone and it seems to work at bringing the part up if logged into the relevant library (e.g. logged into V1 Library on my phone brought up the cello part on the tablet, which was logged into the cello library. I'm pleased and it wasn't too painful renaming my files.
Now I have another basic question. How do you manage syncing ? I have so far only batch imported from Dropbox. In order to then have a player easily able to sync against a folder to check for new repertoire added, do I need to effectively have one tablet that I back up and then keep that tablet updated, and backed up, and the others sync against that tablet's backup ? I think this may be what you meant by 16 syncs, but I'm not completely sure.
Can't wait to roll this out to the quartet, but some are a bit tech adverse so I am keen to have all the answers up my sleeve first :-)
