I know MSP can populate meta data when importing chord pro files.
I wonder if it would be possible to do the same when importing PDF files.

PDF files can have meta data attached, would it be possible to scan all meta data in the PDF and import any field which is known in MSP (tempo, key, etc)?

Adding support for importing metadata from PDFs is absolutely on my list of things to do. I just haven't had time to put in the necessary changes, as this needs to be something that can be done when files are first imported as well as at a later point in the song editor (i.e. to rescan for new metadata that may have been included with an updated version of a PDF).

Hi Mike, is there any update with regards to this feature? 
Thanks and keep up the good work!

I'm getting close to releasing the iOS version, and then I'll finally start working off these feature requests. I know it's been a long time coming and I have a lot of features to deliver to users.

Thanks for the update Mike and congrats on getting close to an iOS release!

I'm considering building something myself just to support my case for now, it seems quite straightforward.

Can you confirm that to update the tempo, signature, key and artist of an existing song it's a matter of:
- find the right song id (id in Songs table)
- add / update record with that SongId in Tempos table (what does TempoIndex do, is that when multiple tempos are applicable?)
- find / add right id (with required signature) in Signature table
- add / update record in SignatureSongs table
- find / add right id (with required key) in Key table
- add / update record in KeySongs table
- find / add right artist (with required artist) in Artists table
- add / update record in ArtistSongs table

All dates are in epoch

Thanks!

That all sounds correct, and yes, the tempo index indicates what position the tempo should be shown in the dropdown when multiple tempos have been added in the metronome. If you run into any issues, let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Great idea ! I was considering investigating the same. Would this work on PC/Tablet ?
