I totally agree with you, whatever works then use it,
It’s like learning a song with difficult chords, first few attempts does not go well, play it 50 times and the ‘muscle memory’ kicks in and it gets easy, the most important word when gigging is EASY, everything has to look easy and fun.
I do mainly restaurant work, my preferred way of playing is 20 minutes of non stop music, stop few minutes followed by another 20 minutes of non stop music and then I take a 15 minute rest break.
The playlist on the SX or Genos would be of no use to me as there is too much scrolling and navigation so I use a different method, the SongBook playlist is good but takes too long to move my hand to the iPad screen and back again to play the song, the registration button is works quicker for me.
I use what I have been using since the PSR 3000 of many years ago, I load in a registration bank, that gives me 50 song options for my first non-stop 20 minutes, the font is much bigger and clearer on this method (SX photo) I can load the next song as I am playing the 1st song, when I finish playing the first song then I press the registration button and straight into another song and SongBook has the sheet music ready to go.
Here’s a few songs from my BigBand Registration folder, I play live, the only programming is registrations, the only styles I have ever used is what is on the keyboard, Im not an expert with big band and it’s only a small part of my repertoire but some songs I have to include on a restaurant gig.
Pino.
