There is no index letter for "I" and both "T" and "TA".

The collections list in the background shows correct index letters.
MS won't display any songs. They're there--just won't display. Using the version of Companion, I added a handful of songs. I also added a set list note. Backed up the database and disconnecte. Now MS won't display any songs: error message says, "Error during song initialization. Song may not load correctly." It doesn't load at all! I tried deleting the setlist note and also restoring the database. No luck. It's not just the new songs that won't display--none will. Checking for missing files shows no missing files.
I find I'm needing to white-out some chords that were on the original imported .pdf AFTER having typed in some chord names (Abm or C#7, for instance) that are good.
The problem is that after I move my (properly) notated chords out of the way, then white-out the old chords from the original and then try to move my good chords back into place, they are not visible because the white-out is the last on the list, thus hiding the good chords I'd already typed in. Sorry if this is so poorly explained. I could of course re-type the chords after doing a white-out, but that would be a huge amount or work.
Being able to re-order things in the list window would be a HUGE time saver.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
I have one large .pdf file (235 pages) of an entire piano/vocal score, with annotations, etc. done in MSP. In performance, having loaded the large .pdf, I play non-stop from beginning to end. I've marked each song within as a bookmark, just for rehearsal porpoises. I use a firefly pedal (connected with USB cable) to turn pages.
The problem is that the rendering of the pages (2 page mode), particularly the 2nd page, is slow. Thus, my question is, what's the best solution to achieve faster rendering?
- Will individual, smaller .pdfs render faster, or will having to allow for load time of each .pdf negate any benefit? (Is it even possible to pre-load 24 .pdfs?)
- If I'm able to devide the original large .pdf into smaller, individual .pdfs, is it possible to transfer the annotations used in for that section (song) to the new individual .pdfs?
- If I keep the original large .pdf but split it into smaller .pdfs within MSP (which will still reference the original large file, I believe), would that help increase render time?
Thanks very much for any suggestions!

P.S. Btw, running an Acer Z1-621 22" all-in touchscreen
MobileSheetsPro 1.3.7 and MobileSheetsPro companion 2.2.7 have been released with a large number of changes. It's very important to update both the companion app and tablet app at the same time, as database changes have occurred. The full list of changes is below:
MobileSheetsPro v1.3.7
Added support for populating metadata using directory names during a batch import. A metadata format string must be provided to determine what fields to populate.
Notes can now be automatically displayed when a song is loaded. Different notes can be kept for each setlist the song is in.
Added new setting to hide the library screen floating toolbar
Added new setting to turn off normalization of characters so that international characters are sorted separately
Filters are now carried over from the main library screen to the group editor
Diagonal swipes are no longer treated as horizontal swipes on the library screen
Fixed issue with potential endless loop while accessing Google Drive
The action bar is no longer hidden when performance mode is enabled
Fixed errors with erasing near circle and rectangle annotations that can result in weird lines and changes
Added database integrity checks so that the companion app can never replace the current database with a corrupted one
Added additional error checks to handle broken connections with the companion app so that the database is always safely restored
Cropping can now be applied to an entire setlist in the crop editor.
During song import, the key signature detected in chord pro and text files is no longer converted to the major equivalent if minor
The go to start of song pedal action now resets link points
Fixed error that prevented the gallery app from successfully sharing photos taken with a different device with MobileSheetsPro
Added support for %CAPO% and %PAGE_ORDER% in the generate song list format. There are no buttons for these so they must be typed.
Added code to allow the companion app to swap files, and to update existing songs during file conflicts.
Link points now work in all cases when using the half page display in portrait orientation
Added "Assigned" option when filtering by collection to find all songs currently assigned to a collection
Fixed bug with editing bookmarks on the bookmarks tab that prevented them from being updated
Moved the create snippet and load song options under the menu at the bottom left corner of the song overlay
The create snippet action can now be activated through a touch action
Added option to edit a snippet after it is created
The metronome tempo can now be set by entering a number if the tempo value tapped
Fixed bug with the original key dialog that prevented the sharp and flat switches from working correctly
Fixed alphabet list errors in the quick find song dialog and the group editor
Dropdowns in the song editor are now correctly sorted to account for international characters
Increased the height of the metronome window on larger tablets in landscape orientation so the start button is visible
The metronome sounds have been switched so that the higher pitch sound is now used for the first beat, and the lower pitch sound is used for the other beats
MobileSheetsPro Companion v2.2.7
Batch import now supports populating metadata using directory names.
Songs can now be updated if a file conflict occurs
Added swap file option to replace existing files in a song (added to right-click menu)
Both setlist and song notes can be modified in the companion app. Setlist notes must be modified on the setlist tab
On a side note, I have finally purchased a tablet running 5.0+ that has an external SD card slot, so I will be adding the ability to use any directory on an external SD card slot as the storage directory very soon (barring any significant problems).
The current Dutch translation is starting to fall majorly behind as my Dutch translator seems to have disappeared. Is anyone interested in helping out with the Dutch translation? If I can't find a translator soon, I may have to drop support for that language. I've pretty much given up on the Greek translation, but if someone is interested in helping with that, let me know as well.
Since I'm continually hitting this when trying to turn a page by hand, I thought I'd take advantage of the new ability to move it - which I did, to the top right corner.
However, I see that if you have either the "show title bar" or "show next song" turned, on they mask half the Quick Action Box. I use both these features and they hide nearly all of the Quick Action box.
