nrealbk1 index question

[mwakefie]

Have been an iGigBook user for more than 12 years, and have rarely come across an issue I couldn’t solve-until now. I am 99% certain it is a PEBKAC error, but danged if I can find it.

I have been using ancient copies of nrealbk1 and nrlbk1eb for a very long time, both of which have Stormy Weather as the final tune and last two pages (printed 437 and 438). I have checked the page count a dozen or more times in my third-party pdf editor, and long ago replaced all of the “photo” pages in those books with pdf placeholder pages. The count is correct.

Offset is set at 15, and the nrealbk1 index lines up perfectly with every single tune in the book, but the last tune, Stormy Weather, refuses to display the second page when viewed in any set list that contains it, just goes to the next tune in the list instead of turning the page. It certainly displays when I look at it in the book view.

One clue is that if I bump the offset to 16, I see the second page of Stormy Weather, but not the first, and the page turn only produces the previous and next tune in the set list.

It is acting exactly as if the index is set for that tune to be a single page, instead of a two-pager, but I have no way see if that is the case, and of course I can't change the index since I did not create it.

It’s not the end of the world, since I know the tune so well, but it is driving me nuts. Can anyone confirm that they are seeing Stormy Weather as a two-pager in that book when viewed in a set list using that index?

Stumped.

I just did a song search for "Stormy Weather" and then selected "The New Real Book Vol 1" version. Both pages appeared correctly when I turned my iPad to view horizontally. I then added it to a SetList and noticed that when viewing it there, it only displayed the 1st page as you mentioned (even in horizontal view).

But, I found that if I change back to vertical view and then page forward (by clicking towards the bottom of the page) I could access the second page of the song. And then, when I change back to horizontal view, both pages appear. Unfortunately, this is just a temporary solution to the problem. As soon as I switch to a different song in the setlist, it requires that I apply the "fix" again.

Anyway, hope that helps.

Best,

It's a two page tune but in the index it *was* set as a 1 page tune. You can sync to get the updated index but that won't update any set list that you have added that tune to, you would have to delete it from the set and add it again.

Thanks, Phil! Like a stopped clock, at my age I’m right about twice a day. I think the Eb book may have the same issue with that tune as well.

Just got home from a gig, we did not wind up playing that tune tonight, but if I had it would have been OK, since my temporary workaround was just to extract those two pages as a pdf, add them to My Scores, and put that in the set list instead.

I’ll resync in the morning and take a look then, too tired to unpack the iPad again tonight.

Thanks again,
