hello i wanted to ask help to do a thing, or in the case to suggest an improvement.
I usually use MobileSheets to train myself to learn songs by heart, and then use this training to perform myself live, without use anything that my memory. And so for that i used to discriminate songs by usage, by kind of public of destination, moment of performance etc.


As example, i have all song. I choose a number of them and i put them in a collection, and so i have a repertoire for some people. I organize all the songs by usage in moment performance. All the few usage are grouped in collection. I want to filter by collection, but doing that, i lose lot of filter possibilities, available for all song grouping. As example i would filter by valutation (stars), but i can't.

I am an older user, but i forgot to update my email here, after having needs to change it.

Could give me any help, information?
Thank you
Luigi

Luigi,

I'm a little confused - can you not just use the collection dropdown to filter by collection, then use the rating dropdown to filter by rating?

Luigi, if you select all the songs you have grouped together and create a setlist from those songs (in the overflow menu, the 3 dots on the far right of the blue menu bar), does that then give you the freedom to run the filters you want on that setlist?

Mike, thank you for your answer. I repeat what i want to do, trying to be more practical, with an example.

I have all songs, that i can view clicking on song tab, without any filtering. I set some collection, as repertoire for selected people, es: "for german people". I set also some other collection, for "performance moment" usage, es: "entertainment" (this way includes songs useful as entertainment, but in general). Grouping songs with some criteria using collection, that's it.

Now i want to select "for german people", AND "entertainment". So i open the collection "for german people", and filter with "entertainment" collection. OK, possible. Now i want to order the songs obtained by rating (stars). The reason for that? Mind, in a performance, works in this way. I need to search the most important songs, for this people, for this moment of the performance, and choose inside this subset of songs.

But i can't do this, because this more advanced sorting works only for song tab view (isn't it, i'm wrong?).
Sorry for my not so clear explain, i know that's a particular request, but it is to me very useful, I would dare say, indispensable.

In song view, it is possible to filter clicking "for german people" and "entertainment" collection.
But this give a list of song with "OR" criteria, including songs in both collections. While i need "AND" criteria. I need songs "for german people" that have an "entertainment" usage. With "AND" criteria, after that, i could easily sort by rating or also criteria as i would.

Hi Mike,

in answer to your question in the other thread: My files are UTF-8.

I attach one of the files that failed to import though it is UTF-8 coded. (I renamed it to .txt since the forum doesn't allow abc attachments).

Sorry but this post is in the wrong place. There's a way to put it in the correct place? Another thread?
I'm receiving answers, but not for my problem

I moved those posts. There are other posts about AND vs OR with the filtering and it's something I'll have to handle at some point by introducing a flag to control that behavior. (meaning a new toggle on the filtering UI). I do plan on adding additional sort options to the group types to match the songs list as well. I'll just have to find time for that (which is always in short supply).

Mike, reading other posts on user similar requests, and mine in first 2023, i can't wait to have this flag. I need it almost everytime i use the software.
Respecting your time, thank you.
