I'm happy to announce the release of MobileSheetsPro version 1.5.5 and MobileSheetsPro Companion 2.4.1. This release contains a number of new features and settings. The most significant change is the new display mode settings dialog. Display modes can now be set per song if desired, and many of the display settings can be accessed directly from this dialog without needing to go into the settings. The ability to change the tint of pages is also a very nice feature, as it eliminates the harsh glare of white pages. The color tones include sepia, gray and cool (a bluish tint). Another nice feature is a utility for fixing broken file paths. If a directory is moved outside of MobileSheetsPro (or changed as in the case of upgrading to Android 6.0) this utility can be used to manually change the paths in the database (by swapping one folder for another) or to automatically look for missing files and locate the correct path to them in the file system. I should also mention the new multi-level search on the library screen that lets you select multiple letters to skip to by long pressing on the letters on the side. This can be a quick way to locate a song without having to use the virtual keyboard to type. For example, to jump to a song starting with the word "My", you could long press "M" then tap "Y" in the list of letters that pops up. On a side note, I'm working on getting MobileSheetsPro up on the Galaxy App Store for users that are unable to purchase MobileSheetsPro through Google Play or Amazon. The full list of changes is below:
