Topic: Problem removing song from songbook

Hi all

I am trying to remove a song from my maxed out songbook to add a better version bit each time I click remove I get the message - File not found
This file does not exist. Most likely this is because we have rearranged our pages.
Does this mean I am stuck with this song in my songbook or is there another way to remove it?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Ian

Re: Problem removing song from songbook

Hi Ian - I've heard others with this same issue.  Seems to be a glitch in the system, once a song is removed from the chordie index... it gets stuck in people's songbooks and can't be removed.  So in the mean time, yes you're stuck.  I think!  Do a little searching in this section and see if anyone else has found a solution to this.  I have seen this same problem, but don't recall seeing a solution yet. 

In the mean time, you could make a new songbook and move the songs you want to KEEP into it.  Then at least you'd be able to print out the new songbook, or whatever it is you want to do with it (or at least not have to see the songs you don't want anymore as they'd all be in the old one).

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: Problem removing song from songbook

You can try two things, although you shouldn't have to, but.....  Make a new songbook (you can have more than one) and bring all the songs from the old one to the new one, leaving out the ones you don't want.  Then try deleting the old songbook.  Or just start a new songbook and keep adding to it and keep the old one.

Re: Problem removing song from songbook

Hi
Thanks for your advice but I have sorted it out.  If it helps anybody else go to the index page of your songbook and select the box to the left of the song name/s you wish to delete.  Scroll to the bottom and select delete selected song and voila it's gone from your songbook allowing you to add further songs.
