New Real Book Digital Bb edition index issue

Post by tigeranthony »

Have old real books running on iGigBook which took time indexing and adding blank pages. Next, I bought Vol 1 of the New Real Book in Bb as it reads better on smaller iPad screens. Saved the file to nreakbk1db but it's not showing up. Can see it in My Scores which says "Unindexed Scores", at the top. Click on it in the My Scores window, and the Bb book opens but only shows the cover page and swiping to the right, Afro Blue chords. Didn't buy the C version, only the Bb version. Also, do the digital copies open up in the Book List as "The New Real Book Vol 1"? Just to try something, I created a PDF with 396 black pages (same # of pages as the Bb digital version), named it nrealbk1, saved it to my iPad, and it shows up with all blank pages. The Bb version still didn't show up. I renamed the blank PDF nrealbk1d and saved it to the iPad, but neither the test C version or the digital Bb show up in the Book List. Thanks for your help!

Looking at the indexes you have marked active, "The New Real Book Bb (Digital Edition)" is not one of them. If you don't have the index in your Book List View you will never successfully link your PDF to the correct index. Try using the Content Manager at https://my.igigbook.com to mark "The New Real Book Bb (Digital Edition)" active and then sync.

Yes, I did mark the New Real Book Digital Bb version as active a while ago. It took some time after syncing, and it finally showed up on my book list. Thanks!
