Hi,

My default display mode is "Vertical Scrolling" as many of my sheet music involve passages written over two pages (bottom of page 1 through top of page 2).   As I approach the bottom of page 1, I use "page drag" gesture to advance the view to include the top of the next page.   The page drag appears possible only in the vertical scrolling mode, which also supports usual "page turn" by touching left/right side of the screen.  As soon as I finished playing the current passage extending to the top of page 2, I use "page turn" gesture to update the view to see page 2 in its entirety.  Note that I need to touch the right side of the screen to move to page 2.

That's at least what I am trying to do. I play wind instruments which require holding by hands.  My right hand is always under the thumb rest to support the instrument (clarinet, saxophones, etc).  That means my left hand must do the maneuver.  I can do "page drags" without  any problems.   Page turns require touching left or right sides of the screen for backward or forward turns.  My right hand can do the forward page turns very well as my left hand does backward turns.  But when I try FORWARD turn with my LEFT hand, the success rate drops dramatically.  I believe there are two problems:

1. Page turn gesture requires touching the screen and holding it for a while.  Reaching the right side of the screen with the left hand takes an extra time. When I play, I am in such a hurry, I remove the finger too quickly, so it becomes a page drag gesture instead.
2.  When I use my left hand to touch the right side of the screen, it blocks my view and my eyes can't track the current position in the music. 

I tried using bluetooth page turners but decided against it for various reasons.

My suggestion:
 - allow users to select page turn areas (LEFT or BOTTOM areas for FORWARD turns)

 Thank you

Go to Settings->Touch & Pedal Settings->Touch Actions and set the bottom middle to "Go forward one page". That should function for what you are asking for as long as you are okay with full page turns. Otherwise I'll have to add the "Go to next page" action as one of the supported touch actions for other parts of the screen such as the middle bottom.

Very old request of mine.

Since I'm using face gestures now it's not something I require anymore, but I think it's still a valid point and an improvement.

Mike,

Thanks for your help.  I am delighted and feel a bit embarrassed to find that the app already has the feature I need and I didn't know about it.  Anyway I did some testings, following your instruction and want to report some unexpected issues:

Why does "Go forward one page"(bottom left) seems to work differently from "Go to next page"(right)?  The missing page turn animation is a minor problem.  A more serious issue is that the target pages these two actions bring may be different.  Let me give you an example:  Again I use "vertical scroll mode", so my current screen shows  page 1 (bottom part) on top of page 2(top part).   Assume the screen does NOT show bottom of page 2.  In this case, "Go to next page" action always brings a full view of page 2.  But "Go forward one page" may bring page 2 or 3.  My limited experiments seem to suggest that the result may depend on  how much of page 2 has been shown when the action is taken.  If it is less than ~50%, the action brings page 2.  Otherwise, I get page 3 instead.

  You probably have a good reason why these actions must be different.  But from my perspective, both actions should bring a full view of page 2, as long as the full view has not been shown already.  

I hope you would once again help me with this issue.  
I have to say this is a great app with great support coming from you.

I will have to add the "Go to next page" action then. As far as your question, that would only happen if the top of page 2 was higher than 50% of the screen. You can bring up the overlay and see what page is active. If it says you are on page 2, and then you trigger the "Go forward one page" action, it will turn to page 3. There is more logic involved when using the go to next page action (it tries to calculate the right behavior based on the current page scroll positions).

Great!  Hopefully it wouldn’t add too much work and would have a chance to get implemented soon.
