Feature request: Copy and Paste all fields
#2
I've breached this subject in the past, but the problem is that many features in MobileSheets currently rely on tracking a page number in the song. The page numbers are not relative to a specific file - if you add four PDFs to a song, and a smart button is on page 3, for example, and then you reorder the files, that button will still be on page 3 even though the files changed position, and what was previously page 3 might now be page 10, for example. The problem is that with chord pro files, the number of pages can change dynamically. If you change the text size, you could go from it being just one page, to five pages. This throws off all the page numbering with smart buttons, bookmarks, annotations, etc. So in order to support this properly, I would need to rework all of the page number assignments to be relative to a specific file, which means every database table needs to contain not only the page number, but the ID of the file that a particular entry is associated with. Then a file having dynamically changing page numbers wouldn't be as big a deal and you could combine chord pro and PDF with few or no consequences. It's also not impossible for me to handle this at the moment - I know the previous number of pages, and I know the new number of pages after a chord pro changes size, so I could then adjust everything in the entire song to offset the pages for all of the bookmarks, buttons, annotations, etc. That's just more error-prone, and I didn't want to have to update so many database tables every time the number of pages changes in the chord pro file (which can happen while changing settings, rotating the tablet, etc). So I am going to do something about this, I just don't know the timeline for it at the moment.

As far as your second request, that's what the current "Copy Song" option does on the library screen. Long press your song to select it, tap "Copy Song" at the top of the screen and you'll get an exact copy of the song that you can name differently and change the metadata as desired. Is this different from what you want?
