I'm new to MobileSheets so I am certain that I have just not found the right term in the documentation.
For almost all the pieces I have there is a score with all the parts and then many parts for the separate instruments. How does MS expect that one handles this ? I have problems believing that one must make te score and each part separate songs, but have not seen any other way to handle this.
This seems to me to be such a basic demand, to be able to handle a piece with all the parts as one, and then pick the part one needs, that it has certainly been in MS since V1, I just can't find it.
Please help and show me the right direction to look.

Hello Don,

At the moment, you would have to either add all the files to one song and then use a feature like bookmarks to jump to the specific file for a given instrument, or you would have to create separate songs, one for each instrument. To add multiple PDFs to a single song, you need to use the song editor. To create a new song with multiple files, go to the Songs tab, tap "New", go to the Files tab, tap the folder icon and select each PDF. You can edit an existing song in the same fashion to add additional files (long press or right click the song on the library screen, tap "Edit Song" at the top of the screen and then add the files on the Files tab).

I have discussed on the forums in various places a planned feature for song versions, where you can have multiple versions of the same song, and switch which version of the song you want to view. You will also be able to specify which version of a song to use in each setlist that uses that song. This would allow you to have one version of the song per instrument. It's going to be a little while before I can add support for this feature though, as it's going to require some pretty extensive changes.

Thanks for the info Mike.
I am looking forward to the versioning feature in the future, but first the new annotations for Win10 !
Best,
Don

I'm also looking forward to such a feature. Depending on the device, I do use full score will all parts when the screen is big enough, and only the parts when a small 6" e-reader or mobile is attached to the instrument. It would also be great if the device link would work with parts (master selects score, and each slave device shows the corresponding part for the instrument).

Any news on the versioning?

I'm finishing the iOS version of MobileSheets before starting on the versioning feature.

Hi Mike,

any news regarding this feature?

Song versioning is being added after the next big update (which is implementing missing chord pro functionality). It's going to take me a while to implement all of the necessary changes though because it impacts pretty much everything in the entire application.

Hi Mike,

sorry to bother, but do you have any idea when this will arrive?

The goal is end of this year or early next year. I'm constantly having to address bug reports, small feature requests, enhancements, etc, while still providing customer support to many customers daily, so it's been pushing back development on some of these larger efforts. I provided the roadmap for the next update at the bottom of this post: https://zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/forum...10293.html

Once that is finished, then I'll start working on the song versioning feature (along with some other big feature requests).

Hi Mike,

just wondering if there was any progress on this,

With version 3.9.0, I'm releasing a multi-platform companion app (so that it can support MacOS and Linux) which required porting the entire codebase over to a new cross-platform framework. This meant having to reimplement pretty much every user interface in the entire application, and I'm also using this opportunity to modernize and improve the user interface (it's much more consistent with the main tablet app now). That has been consuming all of my time for the last 3 months or so. I have about 15-20% left to implement and test, and then the companion app will be finished. Then I can work on finalizing 3.9.0 and getting it released on all three platforms (Android, Windows, iOS). Song versioning is planned for 3.11.0, so it's still a ways out I'm afraid. I know it's taken a very long time, but as a solo developer, there's only so much I can get done while managing everything else.

Hi Mike,

the multi-platform Companion is more than welcome for me (Linux user), and I can imagine how much time goes into that. Keep up your amazing work! Thanks for the status update,

Hallo Zusammen, 
Ich nutze aktuell für seit einem Jahr für zwei ein Orchester ebenfalls die App und bin schwer begeistert.

Mir fehlt ebenso die Funktion, dass zu einem Song Untereinheiten (Stimmen) für die Partitur des Dirigenten und die einzelnen Stimmen der jeweiligen Instrumente aufgenommen werden können.

Bir haben jetzt zu Songs (Einzelstimmen) eine übergeordnete Einheit (Album) eingerichtet.

So kann man das Album (Titel des Stücks) wählen und es werden nur die dazugehörigen Songs (Stimmen) angezeigt.
Zusätzlich haben wir in den Sammlungen die einzelnen Instrumente (Von Flöte 1 -2 über Blech- und Blasinstrumente bis hin zu Schlagzeu und Perkussion) hinterlegt.

Sobald man nun einen Filter (zB Trompete 1) gewählt hat, kann man bei der Auswahl des Albums nur noch die Songs (Stimmen) sehen, die mit der Sammlung übereinstimmt.

Voraussetzung dafür sind jedoch gut gepflegte Metadaten im Song.

Leider kann man damit nicht mehr alle Funktionen nutzen, die für die App auf Basis der Datensystematik Song entwickelt wurde (zB aus Songs eine Setliste zu erstellen)

Mein Vorschlag wäre unterhalb des Songs eine Zuordnungsstimme einzuführen, nach der man in einem Song filtern kann, dann bräuchte man diese Hilfskonstrukte nicht.

Oder gibt es andere Ansätze, um die Orchesterarbeit zu vereinbaren?

Freu mich über gute Ideen und eine baldige Umsetzung.

Beste Grüße 
Klemens

Ich nutze mobilesheets auch für orchester Noten.
Ich verstehe allerdings nicht genau was du erreichen willst.
Möchtest du eine setlist für ein bestimmtes Instrument erstellen?
Ich habe für die Instrumente die benutzerdefinierte Gruppe benutzt. 
Dort sind für jedes Instrumente die jeweiligen Stücke zu finden.
