For your multi page pdfs, you could create a .csv file saying which pages are used for each part (Symphony, overture etc). This file has to be in a specific format so look for examples on the forum (google "mobilesheets CSVfile") and/or read the manual. This .csv file needs to have the same filename as the pdf file (but with a .csv extension) and it needs to be in the same folder as the pdf when it is imported (you can't use it on previously imported files).
This results in a single physical pdf file on the tablet with multiple entries using different bits of it.
Note: Different entries may overlap page numbers e.g. a symphony, overture and one that does symphony+overture
Note 2: Include an extra entry that covers whole pdf
Note 3: Use a common string of characters in the name for each section; this allows MS filtering on this common string when performing file operations (like removing all the entries to handle a correction to the csv!)
Having different entries means they can be put in collections and set lists
The csv file is only used when the file is imported and is not required afterwards (although you could pass to other band members to use)
I'm assuming the blank page you want to drop is already in the pdf - you can just not mention this page in the .csv.
Alternatively, you can edit the song data, select the Files tab and adjust the page order e.g. to remove page 3 from a 10 page file change the 1-10 to 1-2,4-10.
Rereading your post, it sounds as though you then have trouble working out the page number of a 2nd page that you want to delete. This shouldn't be an issue if you know these pages when you first import the file (just adjust the page order accordingly). If you only know this second "unrequired" page later, you can count pages from the "extra entry that covers whole pdf"
Can't answer closing the edit dialog, I am on android and just select back, OK or cancel from the menu at the top of the screen.
Hope this helps
