I am the bass player for a Ukelele group. The leader creates PDF song sheets with chords and lyrics.
I wish to edit these in mobile sheets ( Samsung S10 FE android 15) to create 'gaps' in the existing PDF so I can then manually insert annotations that are my 4 string bass tabs.
Mobile sheets would seem to offce the promsie of this, but I am struggling.
I read a post that said create a blank PDF outside of mobile sheets, I then imported this, copied it to becmome my bass tab song ( I thought) and started pasting in snippets and adding annotations. Opy it faina for the next song etc.. But when I review what I believe were separately edited songs they are all jumbled up / overwritten and i have lost all my work.
I also saw a post that perhaps they had to be in the same set list ?
So created a set-list 'bass tabs' added the uke songs and my blank master and tried again.
When I edited one songs the snippets had been added to all songs.
The results are so confusing I must be approaching this all wrong...
I have read several post and answers and watched some video and realise there is complexity in terms of songs/files/pdf/snippets/annotation and how these exist as objects in the application.
However I am not finding a workflow by play or following what I'd intuitively expect as technical steps.
Please please put me straight on an appropriate workflow and ease my pain.
