Topic: Song Book Size

Hi All
I thought the max number of songs you could have in a songbook was 100. Just seen two new public books with well over 100 in.

Re: Song Book Size

Don't know where the 100max songs came from originally. I thought there was a limit on the size just seen one with 365 songs so it might be just a rumour that got accepted as the true limit.
Just guessing here anyway it's a good thing eh... smile

Re: Song Book Size

I'm not sure how they get more than a hundred, but I have seen close to 400 also.

Re: Song Book Size

This has been asked / answered before. Quite simply, the song books you see with more than 100 tunes were "built" before the 100 song limit was put in place.

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: Song Book Size

Here's the deal.... You can't add more than 100 songs to a songbook, but you *can* create multiple songbooks and then "Copy" or "Move" songs from one songbook to another songbook that has met or exceeded the 100 song limit.
