With a new fakebook I do these steps:
- "Import - Local File" from the menu
- enable "guess title"
this creates a song named as the file eg. "NewRealBook 1" with PageOrder 1-xx
it allows navigating through the whole book with MSP
- copy that song, name it e.g. "NewRealBook 1 - TOC"
- set PageOrder to the books table of content
So looking up a song is a bit easier now
Copying an existing song from the same book and editing title and PageOrder is easier than creating from scratch.
Far more convenient:
- copy the book's index as a .CSV file into the same folder as the book's PDF
- give it the same name except the file extension. e.g. "NewRealBook_1.CSV" should contain the index of "NewRealBook_1.PDF"
- use "Import - CSV or PDF Bookmarks" (instead of "Import - Local File"), select the CSV, not the PDF
This opens a selection dialog where you can select the songs to be imported, see screenshot.
So let's go on and share our CSV indexes!
@Mike: please add "PageOrder" / "pages" to the selectable fields of "Generate Song List Format". This is essential for sharing index data that were created within MSP
