MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - Zubersoft - 10-31-2018 MobileSheets (Windows 10) and MobileSheetsPro (Android) v2.3.9 has been released. This update contains a significant number of new features and bug fixes. The following new features have been added: 1) OneDrive Support OneDrive integration has been added, so it's now possible to import directly from OneDrive. You can also export files and use the library backup/restore features with OneDrive. In the file browser, the separate icons for Dropbox and Google Drive have been collapsed into a single new cloud icon. 2) New Audio Player Backend (change pitch/tempo/crossfading) Thanks to the Superpowered Audio library, MobileSheets now has much more powerful audio backend. It is now possible to change the pitch and/or playback speed of a song. The audio playback should also be more reliable across all devices. The new audio library only works for the most commonly used audio file types though (i.e. mp3, m4a, wav, aac), so if a different kind of audio file is used such as a midi file, the old audio library will be used. As part of adding the new audio library, I also added support for crossfading between tracks with an adjustable crossfade duration. 3) Support for AirTurn Direct Mode For users with an AirTurn PED, PED Pro, or one of the new BT-200 pedals, you can now utilize AirTurn Direct Mode with MobileSheetsPro. This uses Bluetooth LE (which uses less power) and doesn't disable the virtual keyboard like pairing does. The AirTurn Direct Mode dialog can be accessed through the Touch & Pedal section of the Settings screen. 4) Added e-ink mode and stylus changes For users with an Onyx Boox Max or other e-ink tablet, I've added a "E-Ink Mode" setting in the annotations editor (tap the circle at the top left to access this). This will slow the redraw rate while annotating which makes the e-ink device much more responsive. I've also added new logic to disable touch input while a smart stylus is hovering or down. This should make it much easier to annotate without accidental panning or zooming. A new setting is also available to completely disable touch input when stylus mode is enabled. 5) Added setting to force screen orientation Some users have experienced issues with being able to control their device rotation, so a new setting has been added to force MobileSheets to a given rotation. The full list of changes can be found below: Changes made to both versions:
RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - dbavirt - 11-01-2018 I have a Microsoft Surface Pro (5) and I'm having significant problems with the new audio engine. I have set lists where most of the songs have audio files. As I go through the list, starting each song, it is responsive at first, but at some point the song does not start immediately when I hit play. (Usually touching the bottom of the screen, but also on the player.) Eventually I can hear the laptop fan kick on, indicating high load, and I can see in Task Manager that MobileSheets is taking all the available CPU. By restarting MobileSheets, I clear the condition, but it recurs in the same manner every time. I've tried two different set lists. Around the fifth audio playing, the fan kicks on and the player does not start immediately. By keeping the player window open, I can see when the song is ready to play by when the time progress indicator (0:00 / 1:15) appears to the right of the position locator. While this is appears immediately for the first several songs, it bogs down after a while, getting progressively slower until I restart MobileSheets. I'm very interested in an option to roll back to previous version when issues like this occur. RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - Zubersoft - 11-01-2018 I will run some tests to see if I can reproduce what you are seeing. I did test playing through multiple tracks in a row and switching between them. Perhaps it has something to do with setlists and switching between songs. Did you change the audio player setting that groups all tracks in the setlist into one list for playback, or did you leave the default mode where the audio player only shows tracks for the current song? As far as downgrading, this is not a normal update. It contained a lot of big changes that carried some risk. Most updates are not like that. The Microsoft Store does not contain a way to downgrade. If you purchased off my FastSpring store, then you could downgrade, but the problem is this update changed the fields in the database, so it's very risky to try downgrading. I'll do what I can to fix the issues as fast as I can, which shouldn't be a problem if I can find a way to reproduce them. Thanks, Mike RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - dbavirt - 11-01-2018 My original test was with single setlist, multiple songs, not grouping all tracks into one list for playback. I just tried grouping all tracks and the issue is the same when I switch between tracks within the player, same song. The first few are immediate, then it bogs down, and I can see in task manager that mobilesheets is using 85%+ CPU consistently whether the track is playing or not. So it does not appear to be related to switching songs/set lists. I'm trying to replicate on my desktop now. EDIT: I'm having similar problems on my desktop, Windows 10. The MobileSheets app starts using 100% CPU. I'm not able to replicate it fully, though, because of other problems, below. * I was not able to restore a backup taken on my 2.3.9 Surface Pro 5 on my desktop. It said it couldn't write the files. (I've honestly not used MobileSheets much at all on my desktop so I don't have a baseline for "working".) * When I add songs, and then add audio files to songs, it says "Unable to load file" even though I can see the file in the directory within the library location on disk. * When I first add the song, before clicking "OK", I'm able to preview it, but after clicking "OK" I can't play it, I get the above problem. I'm not going to test further on the Surface Pro because it is critical equipment for me tonight, and at least it is displaying songs correctly as before.

The larger issue of comparing text/chord pro files between devices when they have a different number of pages is a bigger issue. The page order for those file types is driven by how many pages are necessary to render the text/chord pro file on a given device. So if one device requires two pages to render it, and the other one, you will get a mismatch during the library merge. I can't ignore this though because one device could have added annotations, link points, etc to the second page of their chord pro file while the other tablet only has one page. I don't really have a good answer for how to prevent merge conflicts when the devices don't agree on how many pages the text/chord pro file should be. Perhaps I'll have to write code to analyze each page of the chord pro file and if there are no annotations, link points, bookmarks, etc that reference pages that exist on one tablet but not the other, then I could ignore the difference in the number of pages. Mike RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - Sunidesus - 11-01-2018 This is my first time using these forums (been using the software for quite a few months though) so I'm hoping this is the right place to post this. Odd things are happening to my annotations. I use it in single page portrait mode and what I thought were random annotations started showing up. But when I tried switching it to two page landscape mode they all are where they're supposed to be. It looks like single page portrait mode is displaying annotations from multiple pages on one page. The "bogus" annotations also disappear/reappear when I have a half-page turned. i.e. I change the top half, nothing shows up, change the bottom half and the bogus annotations show up on the top half. (Thank you for an awesome program though, I've been thoroughly enjoying using it for months now.) RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - itsme - 11-19-2018 Could you please maintain some kind of version history again. Thanks. The "News" topic in the forum was a great source for information when a new version is available and what it contains (to know if it's worth updating). A lot of versions were released during the last weeks, some with problems, some rapidly fixing the issues immediately. It has become hard to keep track of what is going on.

Seems I was having problems with the new audio engine playing from a non-default storage location. I was able to restore to desktop from backup, and the problems playing songs went away. Thanks for resolving these bugs. RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - itsme - 11-20-2018 My post was addressed to Mike Zuber: @Mike: Could you please maintain some kind of version history again. Thanks. RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - BRX - 11-20-2018 I support that. At first I thought "Why" because of the changelogs in the app. But then I noticed from a post in the forum that I actually missed the new (and long requested) feature to use multiple libraries. I think I wouldn't have missed it in a post in news. RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - Zubersoft - 11-20-2018 Yes, I will post release notes. The only reason that I haven't done this for 2.4.0 through 2.4.3 is because of time. I was very focused on trying to get the issues addressed as fast as possible. RE: MobileSheets and MobileSheetsPro v2.3.9 Released - itsme - 11-20-2018 Thanks a lot |
