Hello. This is my first post to the MS forum, and I want to start off by saying that I'm really grateful that I have found a product that is both well written and undergoing continuous improvement. With the android app market the way it is, it's almost a shame that Zubersoft gets so little out of the deal.
I purchased MS for performing original jazz songs with background tracks. The songs are all completely notated using Notion, then printed to PDF. At first, I tried the standard 8.5x11 page size, but the scrolling didn't work well since it jumped to the 2nd page when I was two-thirds through page one. Perhaps there is a right way to do this, but my impression is that when it's time to scroll, if it's at the bottom of the page, it just goes on to the next.
My next attempt was to make the PDF's 8.5x5 (half page) with no scrolling, but without a Bluetooth foot controller, it's kinda hard to do this in a hands free fashion, which is really what I'm after. I suppose eventually, I'll end up getting one of those as they seem to be a de-facto add-on for those of us who use MS for performing.
My latest idea was to have my entire song fit on a super long PDF, something like 10" wide x 50" long, and locked in at four measures per system (see attached). This seems to work quite well, but I still need to get the spacing between the staves just right so the scrolling amount (assuming it's consistent) will advance the song one stave at a time.
Anyway, I'm very much open to any ideas y'all might have so I can identify the BEST solution, and print the right size PDF's for all my songs.
Thanks Everyone!
