I have the registrations listed in various genres and on occasion some songs can be considered proper in more than one group and end up in another folder. The problem occurred again last night and a reboot corrected it. Certainly not a reliable way to use during a gig.
Thanks. Bob
I use the new linking method with no problems whatsoever. I have some 250 Songbook songs linked to Genos registrations.
I control the gig with SongBook+ on the iPad. For example, before a gig, i can in advance set up a gig list or playlist in SongBook+, i can set up the order of the selected songs, or change the order on the fly if needed.
I only need to touch the SongBook+ song and that immediately and automatically brings up the PDF and the corresponding registration on Genos. I can of course create as many playlists as i want. If i want to, i can jump from one playlist to another or just follow the given playlist. I can select by 'artist' by 'genre' by . . . .etc. in Songbook there are several fields for each song that you can enter in advance and then Songbook sorts them automatically, you can of course change the sort criteria as needed on the fly. So, for example if you have a request from the audience you can find it very quickly searching by song name or by artist or by genre. Using the Playlist method in SongBook is extremely easy, however, it takes some work in advance.
I have read from other posts that Playlists on Genos are somewhat of a challenge, at least at the beginning. For that reason, i have decided not to use the Genos Playlist feature. I use the Playlist of SongBook+ only. So, i cannot comment on Genos playlists.
Because of my setup, i do not need separate folders for my registrations. I have all my registrations in one single place. Well, that is not entirely true, i have one single folder named 'REGISTRATIONS' at the root of my USB.
The Genos USB/registrations are automatically sorted by name which makes it very easy to search if needed. For me it is rare but in the case that i want to do it in reverse and select a registration from Genos, that also brings immediately the corresponding PDF on SongBook.
This means of course that once you link a Songbook entry to a Genos registration, I never move or rename either one. Otherwise, the link is broken.
It looks like little by little you are making progress.
Hope this helps.
