Well, now I have at least started. If you want to have a sneak preview on a very early alpha version (there are a lot of empty sections at the end...), please have a look here: Fakebook Pro Manual 3.3 alpha
What do the icons Cb and T do?The "Cb" icon enables you to edit the chords (which is the default editing mode), while the "T" icon lets you edit or insert text/lyrics. This text layer is enabled when you import e.g. a chordpro song (with both chords and lyrics), but you can add a text layer to any chord chart.
Why does the chord text suddenly get really narrow when editing and yet the rest of the chords are normal size?You are probably trying to squeeze to much chords in on each line. Fakebook Pro will not break lines anywhere, but does its best to honor the 4/6/8 bars per line setting. So, if you don't insert any tabs and bar lines (a bar line will automatically also insert a tab space) or manually break the line with an enter/return, the chord symbols will be scaled to fit. If they are to narrow to read comfortably, change the settings or manually break the line.
Czy jest w aplikacji język polski?No, sorry. The Fakebook Pro app is only available in English at this point.
The Fakebook Pro app runs smoothly on the tablet of our singer. But now I got a problem! However, I now want to use an old Android tablet as a backup at gigs (Android 4.2.2 - Jelly Bean). Installing Fakebook did not cause any problems, however, when I wanted to add my songs, I was not able to find my Google Drive. I have access to the drive at this tablet. Maybe I'm doingsomething wrong and you can help me?The native file browser support for cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox etc wasn't introduced in Android until 5.0, this is why you cannot see it directly from Fakebook Pro.
I currently use iKlip Stage, which is a disappointment, and I amccontemplating buying Fakebook Pro, but cannot find info on this:
* PDF on Android: does Fakebook use its own built-in PDFcreader, or the OS installed one? I must say iKlip's PDF reader is of much higher quality than PDF reader apps on Android.
* From what I read on your websites, it is possible to load one's ownccreated PDF files?
* How does scrolling through multiple page scores work? Can a Bluetoothcfoot-switch be used?
* Must one be online to use Fakebook?
* How many pages of PDF can Fakebook handle? iKlip takes a very long time to load just plain text files exceeding 3 pages. And its playlist crashes easily after loading several files -- far too few for live gigging.
I've been using Fakebook Pro on a Samsung 12.2-inch tablet for a couple of years now. It has been a godsend! Thank your for your programming efforts.My database has now reached 4.5 GB in size. I'm using "Commander One" to copy my manual database backups to my Mac, since "Android File Transfer" on the Mac is limited to 4 GB files.This solution works well, but I'm wondering if Fakebook Pro will reach a limit to the size of the database. If so, can you tell me what that limit is?
From the product description on Amazon.com:* "Extremely accurate metronome, stores tempo for each song." Is there actually an audio metronome associated with the app?* "Spotify and YouTube links to reference recordings" Where are those links?Both the metronome and the Spotify/YouTube links are under the Play menu. In either the action bar or in menu, you'll find a Play icon. Press this to get a dialog with an adjustable metronome as well as options to search Spotify or YouTube, or direct links if available.
How can I choose a split-screen or double-app option that would allow me to see the chart while also hearing the YouTube audio (or even be able to scroll back in the YouTube video to replay certain parts while viewing the chart)?
Fakebook Pro is importing any PDFs I try to view on my phone e.g. if I try to view a PDF attached to an email. How do I stop that?This is actually an Android setting, and not controlled by each app: when clicking a PDF file your device has a default for opening it. In this case with the Fakebook Pro app, probably because you choose that default at some point (there is a dialog asking if you want to use the app "once" or "always").
On my Samsung G7 Edge there is a "Clear Defaults" button for the app, but that doesn't work work on its own. You have to also set "Go to supported URLs" to "Always ask". I did both Clear Defaults and the Always ask setting, problem is solved!
How do I get rid of unwanted playlists?
I was looking for an app that could handle music PDF for gigs. It would have to move between Set List PDF quickly and ideally also be able to finger-pinch zoom (although I believe that feature makes the loading slower)My ideal list:* A dedicated music PDF app and nothing else
* The ability to load PDF into a master library from various sources - Dropbox, Google Drive, Livedrive, Local drive
* The list automatically indexed
* A simple way to create Set Lists from the master library without using copies
* Some meta information for the Set List tunes - eg Key, Genre, Free form notes
* Moving between Set List or Master Index PDF should be very quick
* The ability to pinch zoom PDFs useful on smaller tablets
* All the features on Set Lists like adding/deleting/reordering
* The ability to annotate PDFs with various tools and save the annotations
* A backup facility to Dropbox etc
* The ability to use JPEG, TIF formats as well
* A printing ability
* Move between pages using Airturn bluetooth pedal
* A price point of £4.99 would be acceptable
Loves the app and how they can manage the key and sorting playlists. Only one thing that I need in this app is two finger zoom (if it possible in the next update.) Thanks to all developers who made this useful app.Thanks, glad to hear you are happy with the app. Two finger (pinch) zooming as well as three finger scaling of chord fonts is in the app, and now also enhanced by the auto-scaling of fonts (to make sure there are always 4/8 bars per line).
Great app! Comes with chord charts, but the real value is that you can import PDF charts and index the songs. Following the add songs, download from internet link has many books to get started. Additionally you can mark up pages, make set lists, etc. Well worth the money.
I wrote this song, correcting an unfinished tune in the database. Made it look nice, then when returning to songs after editing, it comes back looking unreadable.
What is tab? Like on a typwriter? (Move known spaces to the right? If so, I'd think tab and space bar should be interchangeable, no?)
The other day, one of the PDF's that I imported was rotated 90 degrees. I can't figure out how to UN-rotate it. Any advice before I delete and re-import?
If you're gigging regularly, this is a must. You can transpose, edit and annotate. Brilliant.
Still good, congratulations to the developers ))
I happily downloaded and use the Facebook Pro app on an 13inch Android Tablet. It has just the features I want and like and it's a very handy tool for my live performances as a singer/guitarplayer.There's no "trick" other than to touch-and-hold as close to the "handle" (at the edge) as possible. But I agree that this is not always so easy and the Android library used to implement this drag-and-drop feature works better on some devices than on others... Unfortunately this is a known issue that has been hard to fix. So, in the next version (3.0) this list will be completely replaced with a much more modern and easy to use solution. There is still a lot of testing needed before release, but this will eventually be fixed, I promise you!
There are two features I know that are working, but I can't seem to get a constant way of using the following features:
When I have my setlist/playlist of songs in front of me, I sometimes try to drag songs to another position. For instance the third song I want to put at the first position. I drag it with my finger or thumb, but this is most of the time not working. The screen usually gives a pop-up screen where I can add or remove the song to/from a playlist. What is the trick here I am missing? I tried positioning my finger/thumb in all kind of ways, but it usually doesn't want to drag a song.
When I'm in a song text and want to go to the next or previous song text, I tap with my finger on the screen (usually on the edges) but it is also a coincidence if the page is turning. It works, but a lot of times it doesn't and the green menu on top of the screen comes down. What is the trick here to make page-turning work constantly?You can swipe left or right to change song, or tap at the edges. On the current version the "tap area" is defined to be the outer 1/7 of the screen, but you are no alone in thinking that this is too small to work reliably. So in the next version this area will be slightly larger (1/5 on each side).
