I play in a number of recorder groups and we frequently site read a number of pieces that
we have in mobile sheets. Often, when I am practicing at home I try to remember what
parts I had trouble with so I could practice them and do better the next time we sight
read that piece (OK, it is not technically sight reading if we have already played the piece, but
you know what I mean). I can go to the recents to see what pieces I have played but
I might still have 100's of pages to look through to find the parts that I want to practice
(Note that we often rotate parts so I don't know what part I even played).
My feature request is that there is a simple command that takes the current page of the
current piece that you are viewing and adds this to a setlist with today's date as the name
(e.g., August 16, 2003). Thus when you are playing, you could easily tap this on any
tricky parts you want to later return to to practice, without having to disrupt the current
group playing experience. Then, at a later date, you simple go to the setlist (August 16, 2003
in this case) and can walk through the parts. Granted, you have to find the part of the
page that needs practicing but that shouldn't be too hard.
I made this suggest and Mike, the Mobile Sheets creator, suggested I use "Create Snippet"
which is a great feature and does half of what I want. He also suggested that I post
to this forum to see if others think it is a useful enough feature for him to add it. I think
all he would have to do is create a setlist with today's date, if it isn't already created
and add the page created with create snippet to it.
Do people think this is useful and worth Mike's time?
thanks,
