indexed book file name changes

Post by cannelg »

Hello,

I'm getting used to how to work the app and so far it's fantastic. I spent a lot of time getting the classic realbook PDFs in Bb aligned to their indices. I named them the base names (I think) but since the files disappear from My Scores once they are linked I can't remember. They appear as "Classic Real Book", "Classic Real Book Vol II", and Classic Real Book Vol III" in my Book List and they are the Bb versions I spent hours adjusting. I see that the C versions are available - I don't need them on here but they could be hady for playing Piano - although I usually only play trumpet. How can I add those without losing the Bb versions?

What you are currently doing is based on the notion that you're only going to use Bb books, it's fine to link a Bb book to the index. If you're going to want to use the C version and the Bb version you will need to follow this How To:

Thanks - I figured it out and was able to export the Books through iTunes. I may never use the C parts playing gigs but I would like access to them for arranging or working on my piano chops in the normal keys. I saw I can default everything to Bb in app the settings so I should be ok.

Thanks for the help.

One more question - If I change iPads or get a bigger one, will I have to export/re-import all the pdfs?

Thanks,
