I've done some more testing and unfortunately it's worse than I thought - on top of all the above steps, you additionally have to change tabs and back again to get the pedal to work again after turning Bluetooth off and on again.I wish I could be more helpful, but I don't own this pedal and do not use it when I perform so I can only provide general guidance. Perhaps the manufacture of the pedal has more ideas?
This one problem means I am reluctantly going to have to use forScore for live gigs as going through 10 steps between each song is obviously impractical.
It would be great to be able to use any wireless page turning device with iGigBook like you can with forScore.
I'm pretty sure PageFlip would send you a pedal to help you develop support for it in iGigBook if you asked them nicely - it's only going to help them in the long run if your users can purchase the pedal and it is supported properly by iGigBook. You might even make loads of money from referral sales if you advertise the pedal alongside your app!
