Arlo,
I had downloaded SLM sometime ago and only have recently really begun to dig into it. My need was to simply manage my reams of sheet music into an easy program. I spent a solid week playing by building a database of about 30 songs of varying formats in my iPad while on vacation. I mostly was able to answer every question I could come up by just playing and learning with my songs (with your videos and on line instructions as guides). At this point, I have never been so amazed at what ANY app could do for me. Just managing songs, shows, etc only touches what your app can do for a playing musician (my wife was less excited all the times I showed her what ELSE this can do!).
Ok, to my point- After having the confidence to begin building the app to use for my shows, I came home to load up Word docs, Pdfs, etc. from my PC -> iTunes -> SLM. I had been mostly copying my tabs into the lyrics section. I find it lets me edit and format things the best, especially in Perform mode to maximize text size, scrolling, etc. But attaching all my pre-formatted docs will save me hours of time. I use several "types" of lyric/chord charting including chordpro style (ex: This old [G#] man, he played [F] two, etc.) and lyrics with the chords prior to lyrics line and also lyrics with chords on top (my least favorite). I was able to easily attach docs and at about the same time I ALSO updated to 3.4 and am having several problems:
- the majority of my Word docs are coming up as "Unable to Read Document". I think that problem is on my end with old Word 95 docs and am ok with having to copy and paste the originals into the "Lyrics" section, but.....
- With the new update, all of my chordpro type entries have reverted to the chords on top of the words and the document body is double spaced. It's really weird because if I pinch the screen to shrink to fit, I see the chordpro version until I let go and it reverts back in both Song & Perform view. Is there a toggle somewhere?
Thank you for the amazing App and hopefully I can get this rather big problem diagnosed. Than onto figuring out how to "use" midi and my Alesis I/O dock & drum machine, and other toys to use with this!
