Hello,

I'm an opera singer, and as such I often deal with scores that are hundreds of pages long. I'm currently rehearsing for Carmen with a substantial number of cuts. I'd love the ability to put a 'paperclip' into my score so that I can automatically skip the cut sections when turning the page. Currently, as far as I can tell, the only way to do this in Mobilesheets is to delete pages from the PDF. Deleting pages is a pain if the cuts change, if I perform in another production, or if I simply make a mistake in the cutting process. This is a critical need for a professional singer.

Please add a paperclip function!

Thanks

You could already do that in several ways. 
Via link points. (Manual Page 78)
Via smart Button. -> load or go to song (manual Page 81)
Via bookmarks. (Manual Page 76)

Or, you can change the order of the pages displayed. 1-14,20-25 and so on. 
This way you don't need to delete any pages, and you can adjust the order of the pages again and again for a different concert
Bring up the song overlay ->edit-> files-> Page order.

Neat, thanks! I did some googling for this capability previously and didn't see anything about these features. I'll give them a shot

Is there any way to increase the size of the pages in the page-order menu? They're not much larger than a thumbnail, and it's hard to make anything out.

[McAroni]

As i know no. But be carefull with the Page order function. It will modify your original pdf as I know. 
if you want to keep your original file then go to the 3 dots in this window-> settings->  save as new file when modified. I am not sure if you lose the annotations too. I do not use this Feature because i do not really understand what is happening with my files. 
I put in the Page numbers of the pages i would like to see.

A couple things:

1) You cannot change the size of the thumbnails (I'm going to add an option for that in one of the next updates).
2) You can click the three dots at the bottom right corner of the a thumbnail and then tap "View Page" if you want to see a full page rendering
3) The page order feature will not modify your PDF if you just remove, duplicate or rearrange pages. It only modifies the PDF if you insert other files, templates or blank pages into your PDF (or if you select the option to update the PDF with the current page order). MobileSheets will always warn you if the file will be modified, as that was added after feedback from users.

@Zubersoft thank you! I have a couple more suggestions for this menu while we're on the subject...

1) I'd love the option to view hidden pages. i.e. if I hide page 2, maybe it's greyed out in the page order menu instead of hidden.
2) Scrolling on the rearrange menu is a hard since 90% of the real estate is taken up by pages. Maybe if you add the option to 'tap and hold' for reorder, I could scroll the page the same way I do in other apps. This would help with scrolling and also make it harder to accidentally reorder a page.
3) I'd like a quick option to return pages to original order (with or without hidden pages). Since it's so easy to slide pages around, I'm a bit paranoid that I've gotten things out of order, and it's hard to visually check when I'm dealing with 300+ pages.

1. The problem is this stops making sense when pages are repeated, i.e. 1-3,5-8,1-3,5-8. Page 4 is skipped both times, but I don't think it would make sense to show a grayed out page for both of them. It also stops making sense when pages aren't sequential (i.e. if someone is fixing a document with pages that are out of order).
2. If you place your finger in the space between pages, you can easily scroll. However, your request is perfectly valid given how easy it is to accidentally move a page. I'll look into this to see if the component I'm using would easily support that.
3. You could just cancel out if you've made changes you don't want to keep. However, I can certainly consider adding an option in the overflow menu to reset the page order to use all pages. You could also just look at the page order at the bottom as it's pretty obvious if it goes from 1-300 to 1-276,279,277-278,280-300 (if page 279 was moved back three pages).
