Well, hello to Tenement Funster. I guess these names tend to go back in time like you said. Strangely, I don't seem to have any lasting nicknames (poor bugger me!)
Now, Neophyte, going back to our discussion about SongBook.....yes it does link to Dropbox but again, I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to that stuff. I can usually bumble around and do what I want but it usually takes four coffees and lots of swearing.
On a different matter, I notice that Neophyte is in Perth but is that Perth, Western Australia? There's a number of Perths around the world. I live in Wodonga which is on the border between New South Wales and Victoria (Australia). And to Tenement Funster, I guess most of those places are a mystery to you just like Novo Scotia is to me. Nevertheless, music breaks down all boundaries. Nice to chat.

Re: Getting access to other versions of a song (13 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I'm with you on the collection of paper versions......I'm over it! My friend and I rehearse on Tuesday nights but only play for friends and the occasional 'open mic'. But having the tablet means no more paper, no more light problems at night, no my breeze problems etc etc. I still have an old briefcase full of books and sheets but I'll slowly put the ones I want into SongBook and then shred the rest. By the way, SongBook also has a hand internet search link. I like Chordie because it allows me to import directly to SongBook with the chord notations in place. Easy peasy.

Hi there Neophytte (where do you guys come up with these names??) I've been using SongBook for a couple of years now and find it does pretty much everything I need. I must admit I'm a fairly 'low end user' and have not tried to use many of the enhancements and font option that are available. But for me and a couple of my friends it does the job very well. I like the feature of being able to tap a chord symbol and see different inversions show up on the screen. In fact, sometimes when a song I'm looking at mentions a chord I've never heard of I open a new song, type in the chord, then tap it to see just what the fingering is (if you get my meaning). I also like the metronome option and the scroll is something I use all the time. It's a bit fiddly to edit songs but once you get the hang of it things go quicker. I'm aware that SongBook works perfectly on Apple products, pretty well on Android and not very well on the Microsoft platform, A of mine mate had a Microsoft tablet but couldn't get SongBook to work properly so he bought an iPad and all was good.
I have not heard of OnSong but I'll look it up. I went with SongBook because a couple of friends use it and told me about it. So I didn't hunt for something, just took their suggestion. I'm hope this is enough info for you but if you have other more specific

Thanks to Tenement Funster for the answer to my question and 'yes' it was exactly what I was looking for. I've been using Chordie for years now and I still think it's the best I have found. In particular, it allows me to import material directly into Song Book which is the app I use on my phone and tablet and it also supports Chordpro which is a really bonus. Keep up the great work and thanks again for the helping me out. Mike

Topic: Getting access to other versions of a song (13 replies, posted in About Chordie)
How do I get to see other versions of a song? For instance, “That’ll be the day” by Buddy Holly has 15 versions but I only get to see the ‘preferred version’ but sometimes I like to see other options. Please help, Mike
