index error for Samba Cantina in Real Jazz Book?

Post by reggoboy »

Hello everyone,

When I search for Samba Cantina in Song Search, nothing comes up. But if I open Real Jazz Book in Book List and search there, it comes up. So that's the first problem.

Next problem, however, is that what comes up is only the first page of the song:

In landscape mode, the second page of the song should be on the right, but it's not. And here you can see the "tap" view showing the book and page:

But if I tap the bottom of the screen to go to the next page, behold! There is the next page (I have spent 10 minutes trying to get this forum to let me upload that screen shot, but it won't let me, even when I get past the file size issue; so you'll have to take my work for it).

If I then tap "backwards", it goes back to the previous page BUT THIS TIME IT SHOWS BOTH PAGES, the way it should have at the beginning:

You might say "okay, that's a bug, but you presented a simple workaround". The problem is, that solution only works when browsing a book. It doesn't work when creating a set list, using a set list, or sharing a set list. In all those cases, half the song is completely inaccessible.

I've gone to great lengths to get around this. I tried to figure out how to download the index and fix it myself, but I can't figure out how. I also used external tools to cut/paste the two pages into one and create my own PDF; but the resulting PDF, while viewable in Dropbox, Preview, etc, comes up mostly blurred and unreadable in iGigBook; perhaps it doesn't know how to interpret an embedded graphic.

In any case, I'm stuck.

Thanks in advance!

Using Song Search "Samba Cantina" does appear, we don't see a problem with that.

We did have to update the "Samba Cantina" entry to reflect that it spans 2 pages. If you sync that change should be reflected and should solve your problem. If you added "Samba Cantina" to a set list, you will need to remove it and add it again.

We are the only ones that can edit stock indexes.

Strange. I checked again, it definitely was broken for me.

Thanks! That fixed all the problems I mentioned INCLUDING the song not coming up in the Song Search feature!

Okay, good to know. Thanks for taking care of it!
