Is it possible (or might it be possible) to set orientation on a per-song basis? i.e. when that song is loaded the display will switch to the set orientation. This would be useful on tablets that don't have an orientation sensor such as the Boox Lumi.

This is supported in the regular Android version, but it's not supported on the BOOX due to the weird way orientation is handled on the e-ink devices. Having said that, it's relatively easy to trigger an orientation change in MobileSheets in the e-ink version. Load a score and tap the bottom right corner of the screen to bring up the quick action box. There, you will see a rotation icon in the corner. Tap that, and if you've never tapped it before, it will ask you to pick an orientation. Select Portrait, then bring up the quick action box and tap that icon again. Now you can pick a second orientation such as "Landscape". Now the screen will flip to landscape. Now if you bring up the quick action box and tap that icon, it will swap between portrait and landscape when tapped. You can long press the icon to reset it and you can pick two new orientations if needed.

Thanks Mike, yes I'm currently using that method. Just hoping for one less thing to do between songs in a gig!

I can think about adding that in the future for the e-ink version at some point. It would just be adding back in some of the code that was there previously for the per-song orientation lock.
