Annotation

When annotating, it is very frustrating to have to go back to the top of the file every time I hit save. Also, sometimes I need to draw chord diagrams and zooming in would make that a lot cleaner, but when I do, I can't see what I'm drawing. Any chance I'm missing some setting that will allow this? how do others cope or work around this? Any chance an insert image feature might become available so I can drop guitar chords in, especially on pdf's not created for guitarists.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. BandHelper auto-syncs whenever you save, and that will reload the song and reset its scroll position, but you posted in the Set List Maker forum.

"zooming in would make that a lot cleaner, but when I do, I can't see what I'm drawing"

Why not, what do you see?

"Any chance an insert image feature might become available"

In BandHelper, you can insert images into lyrics, but not into PDFs. To add an image to a PDF, you'd have to go back to the source document and add it there, then export a new PDF file.

sorry about posting in the correct forum, will do better next time, thanks for the reply, though.
when I use my fiingers to scroll in, whatever I've drawn just dissapears from view, though when I'm done and hit save, it and whatever chicken scratch I'm able to make becomes visible.

good suggestion about amending the pdf. would then need to invest in a pdf editing app, which is why I was hoping to use the BH annotate feature.

will make further questions in a more appropriate forum

Please submit a help ticket for that.

How did you originally make your PDFs?
