Graeme,
I think your idea is great. It will take some work to update the database tables and create a new mapping in setlists from songs to notes, but I can definitely make this happen. Here are my thoughts on the user interface changes:
1) To add notes to a song in a setlist, there will be a notes button accessible somewhere in the overlay (probably the bottom bar after I remove the zoom slider or the top left as it is now), or you can long press the song in the setlist editor window.
2) When notes have been added for a song, the song will have a notes icon next to it's name in the setlist window. Tapping this notes icon allows easy editing/deletion of any of the current notes for the songs.
3) When notes are displayed, I think it makes sense to provides options to either have them fade out automatically after a certain amount of time (3, 5, 10 seconds), or require a tap.
Thoughts?
Jeff,
If you don't "Load All" in a setlist, it's the same thing as loading just one song, so you can't advance between songs if you do that. The next version of MobileSheets is going to provide programmable tap areas (the bottom left, top left, and top corners) as well as support for 4 pedals. Actions for these things will include the ability to skip to the start of a song, the end of a song, the next song in a setlist, the previous song in a setlist, the start of a setlist, or the end of a setlist. Hopefully among all these options, you will find a way to no longer need to hold down the pedal to advance to the start/end of a song.
