Somewhat familiar with MobileSheets, but I'm probably not effectively organizing my library as well as I could.

After building a library for one instrument (Eb Tuba), due to part coverage, I've volunteered to temporarily swap to Bb Tuba when needed in one of the groups I play in.  The repertoire would be the same, and I have about 400 pieces already implemented and organized in collections for the single instrument. As I'd be doubling up a lot of the pieces if I were to import them in as normal, is there an easy way to manage two databases so I'm not getting crossed up?

As it stands, I have collections for multiple series/books, standalone pieces, manuscripts all for the Eb, so if I start to build out the Bb repertoire, would it be best to add everything I already have to a massive Eb Collection, and then filter down from there?  Or is there a way to separate roles, kind of like a set of profiles that I could swap back and forth?  I still play in other groups on Eb, so I'm not really able to just archive the Eb Database and pull it down when needed.

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how they would manage this.  As it stands I've been playing off of copies of music like some peasant for the last few weeks, and I've grown accustomed to a certain standard of quality.

Thanks!

I have the custom group named 'Instrument'. Each time I add a song to the library it gets assigned an instrument (or several) in the metadata. Then it's pretty easy to filter the library by instrument and find the songs I need. There are often multiples of different songs just because I might have multiple parts or versions for different instruments. 

I think song versioning is on the 'feature request' list that will better handle songs with multiple parts.

So I ended up thinking along the same lines, and since I don't typically use the "Key" field, I set all the Eb Parts to Eb. and the Bb parts to Bb, but I think I like your idea better.

Thanks!
