I have a problem to solve. All my registrations are saved on the HD in Genos with links to Songbook files. Everything works fine and I don’t want to mess that system up.
Now, I may be doing some side jobs with another musician and therefore anticipate making new registrations for some of my songs.
I know to put the new regs and styles, midis, or mp3s on a flash drive. But my question is about linking these new or changed registrations to my songbook files. Will I need to copy the PDFs and rename them for the new venture? Or is there another way?
Thanks,
Skip
Hi Skip,
you can use
multiple Books in Songbook+! These Books can use the same PDFs, but you can link to different
Registrations in a different Book. (The current version of SB+ is V
3.4.1.)
Please read chapter 23 in the user manual of Songbook+ (page 45), BUT the first line there is WRONG:
First press the "open book" symbol (
📖 ) at the left side of the SB+ status bar, and then press "Edit books". Now press "Use multiple books", then "Done" and then select your "old" Book. You can also edit the NAME of your Book(s) (before pressing "Done").
Now you are in your "old" Book again, and you can COPY your "Songs" (entries) to a NEW book, but only one by one:
Be sure to have selected "Show all songs (without playlists)" after pressing the Playlist menu symbol.
To copy a particular "Song", press and HOLD its line and select "Copy song to other book" in the popup window. (You can
rename this new Book later by repeating the first steps I mentioned.)
When you have copied all desired "Songs" to the new Book, you can link them (one by one) to new/different Registrations.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
