Topic: Found Something About The Song Book....

........ I wanted to mention.

In planning my Do It Yourself Christmas Message, I looked up "Cotton Fields" and chose the version By Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I looked at several transpositions and chose two I thought I could handle, but SONGBOOK would only save  one. Is this common or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Bill

Re: Found Something About The Song Book....

Hi Bill,  don't quote me but.... I think the songbook will save the last transposition used because it is one of "your" preferences rather than something "global" in the index.  I'm not sure you can get around that unless there is some provision for you naming (uniquely) the alternate and then adding it to your songbook (such as "Cotton Fields ver2 or somesuch).

For me I would do the transposition, then "print to file" on my local drive in pdf format and name it accordingly, and repeat for the other transposition.  But then, I store all my music on my local drive so they are available when the internet isn't. smile

Re: Found Something About The Song Book....

Good idea, my friend. I can just save it as a file. Never thought of that, but then that's why there's folks like my friends here. Always willing to lend a hand or reach out with a kind word or two. Dondra and I very fortunate to have you "with us", indeed.

Thanks
