Hi,
I am playing in an orchestra. So I have e.g. "Hungarian Dance No. 5" for "Violin", "Cello" and "Trumpet". This is my workflow, wich suites my needs very well:
- create ONE Pdf-File with all parts of the song
- create the song "Hungarian Dance No. 5" in MS. In the field "Stimme" (this is german an d I do not nknow the proper english wording) I use "Orchestra" to separate it from e.g. solo pieces. Select only the proper pages for the "trumpet" and set the collection to "trumpet".
- copy the song, change the pages and the collection to "Violin".
- copy again für the "Cello"
This is fine for me and works very well.

But I use two tablets in bookmode, so I have to synchronize the databases. And sometimes I run in trouble then. Sometimes I add new titles an have no problem while synchronizing, but sometimes I have. I can't figure out a systematic. Yesterday I opened the "Hungarian Dance" für the Violin, and on the second tablet it shows page two for the trumpet . When I synchronize again, it complains about duplicate songs of the Hungarian Dance.

Now I tried to give every of the three songs a unique "Song ID", but this changes nothing. MS is still in trouble to distinguish the songs. But this was stupid: I change the "tablet connection" to use the song ID. This solved my problem. And created a bigger one: all the other songs have no song ID, and so the client tablet does not find the song.

Is it possible to give EVERY song in the library a unique song ID? This seems to be the easiest way to get rid of that trouble. Or have you any suggestions what could be easily done?

Thank you,
Pete
