Sher Music New Real Book Digital Edition

[Phil Smith]

I did not include the whole page in screen shot. Something is definitely wrong. Clicking Bouncing w Bud takes me to breakfast wine but page in offset dialog is 37 same as Breakfast Wine. Further down it get’s way worse..

If you use the four finger method while viewing "Bouncin' With Bud" if the number in the box doesn't match that number that's on the page you will have problems. If the number is 37 changing it to 35 should make everything line up provided your PDF has not been modified meaning pages rearranged, removed or added. Setting the offset is a one and done operation, there's no need to do it once you have entered in the correct page number.

I'm not making myself clear... Changing for one song does not fix the whole index. I can get it correct for the first error and some songs later it's off again. Fixing it at one spot messes up the others including ones corrected earlier. PDF has not been rearranged - it was just purchased from Sher Music, not downloaded from a friend. I did just check and noticed that the link on Sher's web page to the Index of Tunes for the digital edition (https://www.shermusic.com/new/0961470143-de.shtml) does NOT match the actual book.. So, if your index is based on the link to the Index of Tunes and not on the actual book, it likely explains the problem. The ForScore table of contents for the same document is spot on but they use a different method AND I would like to take advantage of some of the features in igigbook... Bottom line, as poor a student as I am, I don't think the problem is between chair and keyboard.....

In case it helps.... Here's a few screenshots of the difference between the book and index on their web page. It seems to match with problems I'm seeing but I can't take the trial/error time to troubleshoot. I assume you can line up your index to check.. The actual book index is on the left and the index from Sher's store web page is on right. You can see how they get progressively further apart... different editions?

1. The C version of the PDF is different from the Bb/Eb version of the book and a separate index is available for each.

2. The index page that you linked to is for the C version and matches the C version of the book. You are comparing it to the Bb/Eb version and it is supposed to be different because the C version and the Bb/Eb version have different songs which is why we have a different index for those books.

3. I have both the C version and Eb version of The New Real Book Digital Edition and they are linked to their respective indexes and there is no problem with the index.

4. You can import the table of contents from your PDF and bookmarks and you'll get the same results as forescore and the items will show up in the song title search.

Post a screen capture of your Book List View showing the thumbnails for The New Real Book.

I think your problem is that you linked your PDF to the wrong index. You linked your Bb/Eb PDF to the C index. There's nothing wrong with our indexes as they match the two indexes you have posted.

After further investigation, this is what I have discovered.

You don't have any of the Digital Editions of The New Real Book active and there are three of them. You do have the NON DIGITAL VERSION marked as active and you linked your PDF to that index. I don't know if this is a result of you just trying stuff but what you did is not going to work. You must activate the correct index and link your PDF to that index. The indexes for The New Real Book Digital Editions are clearly marked as Digital Edition. They are not going to appear in your Book List View unless you mark them as active and then sync. You currently do not have them marked as active and as a result they don't appear in your Book List View. What appears in your Book List View are:

The New Real Book Vol 1
The New Real Book Vol 2
The New Real Book Vol 3

You linked your PDF to "The New Real Book Vol 1" and there's no surprise that it doesn't line up because it is the wrong index. Read the information in the following link and use the Content Manager at my.igigbook.com to mark the correct indexes as active and sync.
