First I'd like to say hello: I'm a new Mobilesheets user and my first impressions are very positive. I've used forScore for several years, and have just bought Mobilesheets because it has an important feature that forScore doesn't: a debounce setting for bluetooth pedals. 

Now to my question. In book mode with two iPads I cannot find a way to create annotations on the odd-numbered pages. When in annotation mode I press the arrow that should take me to the next page, the page only turns on the second iPad, where I cannot write annotations. The first iPad stays on the same even-numbered page.

If I press the arrow again, the first iPad moves to the next even-numbered page. How can I make the odd-numbered page appear on the first iPad so I can add annotations to it?

You'll have to change the page turn mode to turn one page at a time. To do this, tap the center of the screen while viewing a score, and then tap the icon with a number inside a box. You can change that to "1" to turn one page at a time, and then you should be able to annotate the odd numbered pages on the primary/leader iPad.  Alternatively, you can add a touch action under Settings->Touch & Pedal Settings->Touch Actions to "Go Forward One Page" so that you can turn a single page at a time if needed, but the touch actions don't work while you are inside the annotations editor.

I am going to address this very soon though - I want to add code so that annotations created on either tablet in book mode are automatically synchronized over to the other device. I just haven't had time to work on it yet.

Many thanks for the reply, Mike. Your first solution works fine. I thought your second solution might be a little more convenient, since I wouldn't have to keep changing the page turn mode between 1 and 2, but alas, it doesn't work as I expected:

I added a touch item (a two finger tap) that turns forward one page. Pages 24 and 25 are showing in book mode. When I tap with two fingers on the left (leading) iPad, only the right (following) iPad moves forward one page. The leading iPad stays on the same page, so now I see page 24 and page 26. If I tap again with two fingers, the left iPad moves forward two pages and the right one moves forwards one page, so now I see page 26 and page 27.

It's great that you're planning to make annotations automatically synchronise in book mode, but I imagine this will take some time. While we're waiting, is there a rapid way to access the manual sync function? Each time I annotate a page in book mode, I need to sync directly afterwards, so it would be nice to be able to go straight to the sync page.

I'll have to look into why turning a single page through that touch action didn't work as expected. Thanks for letting me know about that.

There isn't a shortcut to access the library sync I'm afraid. The only way to access it at the moment is through the library screen overflow menu. The inability to quickly synchronize annotations in this scenario is definitely a major inconvenience, which is why it's near the top of my priority list for fixes that need to occur soon.
