Question about EXACT Book List Titles

[David Snow]

It seems to me that some of these book list titles might not be accurate. If I'm wrong, tell me, but I'm searching around through all my PDFs trying to build my book list, library, and you have titles like "Classic real book volume II", and "Real book volume two second edition".

The other problem I encountered was the index for "Classic Real Book" matched with "5th edition Real Book" with the Blue cover. So how literal do I take these names underneath the "PDF not present" icons? I'm not sure you have all your naming exactly correct but if you do let me know and also let me know why some titles work with a different PDF, like in the classic real book example. Also, I'm confused about what ends up in "my scores". I found using the wrench icon to load abbreviated titles to be very cumbersome. I later learned I could just hold down the icon on the book list and pointed to anything I want in my iPad and it would load it even if it didn't have the abbreviated title. Am I to understand that if I point to a PDF with a full title then it will show up in the "my scores" page, even if it is linked to an index book? The other thing I wish you had, was the ability to hold down a book in the book list and see where it's routed? It's impossible almost I have to go to the files menu to see where things are. I'm trying to get organized and put all final versions in one folder and not seeing where things are pointed to is really inconvenient. Also, where can I edit the pdfs after buying the expansion pack? It seems I can only edit them in "My Socrs", but not all books show up there and some of them I need to rearrange, but I can't figure out how to use the PDF editor? Also, your instructions are so incomplete. Here whats happening in reality, 1) you get a message there are missing pages and to use pdf editor to restore missing pages, 2) how does one "restore"? I have to go to another window, "my scores, and somehow FIND IT, in there, then, I have no clue what pages are missing and see NO blank spots where there appear to be missing pages? In the case of the omnibook, pages are completely whacked out with the first song being page 86. When I find out the title for page 86 is at 90 and move 90 to 86, and then save, I have to go back to the other window and still I get the message that there are missing pages and when I try to click a page, I get a blank window. So I've paid $10 for some app that edits PDFs that has to be strewn across two different windows and leaves one blind as to what pages are missing. If you wanna make a tutorial about this, I'd appreciate it so that we can deal with reality not just moving pages around. Why can I not use a PDF editor on the book this page by the way? Why do I have to go to some other menu and list of songs to try to find it in a confusing list so that I can edit it? Also, I need to be able to see that index, so I know how to put the order of songs. Oh my God, this is so messed up! Once all of this works, it's great, but getting it up and running in an efficient manner is just a hodgepodge bad design. God this stuff is so confusing.

Here's the link to all of the indexes available: viewtopic.php?t=9

Number 11 on this list is: "Classic Real Book 5th Edition(Bb, C, Eb, Bass)--crealbk1" It's named "Classic" to distinguish it from the Hal Leonard series of Real Books and is the index for "Real Book 5th Edition"

How To Replace Missing Pages In An Indexed PDF

[David Snow]

I'm going through the great gig book Blue, which is quite a bear and taken a lot to weed through it to fix it. I'm noticing that the index is are generally correct up to the 150 range and I haven't gotten farther than that yet. But I'm working on it. But already there have been some songs that are in the index that go nowhere even though the other song on the same particular page will go to that page. It's like certain single songs in indexes don't hook into a particular page. Also, when doing a song search, some songs that are connected in the great gig blue book, do not show in the song search results. To me, it feels a bit like mistakes on the part of whomever created the index igig. Because everything else works, but the double page aspect of the song allowed for some misses in the creation of the index. One thing about your whole system, I've noticed, is we have to work very hard to match these stash Tic objects, which are called pDFs. It would be so much easier if we could just somehow edit your indexes. Your index would become the starting point, and we can make copies of them and then one of PDF is missing a page, we could just modify the index, it's not six of 1/2 dozen of another, there are so many difficult aspects to editing the PDFs to match the static index, that would be solved by just making the index editable. Is there anyway I can add any sort of index that would show better in the song search for the single songs missing from the index of the great gig book?

This is only an issue because you aren't creating your own PDFs by scanning the source books. You are trusting that the PDF files that you find on the internet are correct however often times these PDF files are missing pages and/or have pages in the wrong order. Bad information swirls around the internet 24/7 and PDF files are no exception.

Things wouldn't be easier for you if you could edit the index. What's easier is adding whatever pages are missing and/or putting them in the correct order.
