Multiple Regisrations Calling up Same Songsheet
#1
As far as I am aware, at present, I can only link a single Genos registration with a song page. But I have two or three separate arrangements (ie registrations) for the same song page: sometimes I play a tune in eg a jazz style, but on another occasion play the same tune as eg a rhumba.  I would find it useful if the song page came up on my Windows tablet whichever registration I chose.

I recognise this would be difficult as a two way thing, since a message from MS to Genos would not be able to identify which registration to set up. But I would only want the facility in the Genos to MS direction.

Is that ever likely to be on the development list, I wonder?

What I do in such a case, is put the different arrangements behind different buttons in the same registration file, with the song always linked to button one.
The arrangement I use most often is also saved behind button one.

So when I load the reg. file and press button one, the song is displayed. And then when/if necessary, I press the reg. button for the required alternate arrangement. 
This is of course only possible if not too many reg. buttons are required per arrangement ...

Thanks for your comments, Rudy. I use similar workarounds myself. But I thought it would be nice if there were a direct way, through multiple linkage, at least in the Genos to MS direction. But I have no doubt there are more desirable things for Mike to spend his programming time on!

One workaround I use is to deal with playing the whole song a second time when the registration buttons include the sequential display of two (or more) songsheet pages and button 1 includes an intro which I don’t want repeated the second time around. So instead of putting the first page link into button 1, I put it in button 2. Once I have chosen a song registration on the Genos I press reg button 2 to display the first page and then press button 1 (which includes the intro) before I start to play. Then I use a footpedal to advance through the reg sequence, which includes an MS page 2 instruction at the appropriate place, and at the end an instruction to go to button 2 which re displays page 1 of MS song sheet.

I guess I could do it the other way round, with the MS link in button 1 and the intro in reg button 2, the latter to be advanced to before playing and not used again subsequently in the sequence. Not sure whether there would be any advantages in that. The fact the link would be activated by the first press of the pedal perhaps, rather than having to to press button 2 and the button 1 by hand. I’ll have to try it…
