All I can find is this ...
The Digital Standards Songbook--dssongbook
I can't seem to find the Bb version.
If you can't find it that generally means there is not an index provided. You have a few options. 1. You can create your own index. There are how-tos describing this. It's somewhat technical. 2. You can add bookmarks to the PDF. That is generally the easiest for someone who is not super technical. You would do this using a tool that lets you modify PDFs, like Adobe Acrobat (*not* Adobe Reader but the full Acrobat product). There are many other tools that let you manipulate bookmarks. You'll basically have to move to each page, and type in (or perhaps copy/paste) a bookmark for that page. 3. You can just use the file as an unindexed/unbookmarked PDF, and scroll down through it to find what you want. 4. You can pull out individual songs you want from the PDF using one of the PDF tools, save them under the song titles, and load those onto iGigBook. Then you'll wind up with a number of 1- or 2- page PDFs matching titles for the specific songs you want.
In addition: If the Bb book matches the concert book EXACTLY in terms of which pages appear where, you can name the book dssongbook_bb and iGigBook will let you switch keys. Or you can just give it the same name as the concert key book and it will magically work. But that's only true if the page layout is identical. That is true for a few books but not usually.
Hope this helps. iGigBook is a great tool, but it is a tool. It doesn't automatically provide access to every PDF ever made. You need to take some technical steps. This is the process that experienced users have gone through to store and access dozens or hundreds of books on their devices.
