Full Version: Page turning pages automatically through the audio player
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I use backing tracks to accompany me singing and playing guitar. Is it possible in the audio player to mark when I want the page to automatically turn. So for example I know after the first chorus I need to turn over the page. So if I could put a marker on the audio player after the first chorus it would automatically do this. That would be great. An advancement on this would be  if it could take you back to a previous point in the song then to a forwards point. So for Example after the first chorus a marker on the audio track turns my music page but then after the next verse it can take me back to the chorus the page before then after that chorus 2 pages ahead.
I know there are some music software programmes like Ableton Live where in parts of the backing track you can send midi message to change for example guitar effects. It would be great if you could adapt this to  turn pages during a song on mobilesheets audio player.
This would save the stress and cost of not only having to bring a footswitch page turner but also not have to worry to turn the pages as singing, playing guitar and interacting with the audience gives me enough to think about
Not currently, but that is something I plan on adding support for in the near future.

Excellent. Would be a useful feature.
Would be very helpfull. Tx for planning that feature.
Question for workaround:

Because this wonderful feature is still in work, I do the workaround like this:
- Setting up mp3 with autostart when song ist loaded
- Setting up metronome counter with autostart to turn pages.

That works when loading songs like expected. But there is a little side effekt, I would like to prevent.

I use the pdf scores (with playback mp3) for performance with sax and iPad.
Another usage ist with playing back the mp3 from keybaord. 
Here is the problem: When setting up autostart, the song runs each time its loaded.

Is there a setting to suppress the autostart in general?
Means: Wenn generally off/suppressed, the song setting (autostart) would be ignored.
Wenn generally on, the song setting will be used
Could also be useful if you want to take a look at some score sheet without the want to play them immediately Smile


Tx for help.
At the moment, no, there is no way to override the setting. The song versioning feature will be the way to solve this by having a version where you uncheck that setting.

Thanks for that info: Versions could be the solution - so have to take a look how that works.
That feature will hopefully be available a little later this year. It's going to require significant changes across the entire application though.

Can you give me a hint, how this feature is named in the manual?
With version versioning I couldnt find something that seemed to fit Smile
Tx for your help.
Song versioning is in the pipeline for a future release (I suspect not immnent as Mike has indicated other things that he is working on)

Tx - and sorry - I when posting I didn't realize your posting with the info "later ...."
