Skrivarna Software

Working with music in PDF books can be really troublesome. Indexing and naming the individual songs in a large collection is something few applications handle well. To be honest, the Fakebook app was no exception, and importing e.g. a complete Real Book would be a timeconsuming chore. Until now! The new version of Fakebook (1.3.0, available on Google Play and Amazon ) changes this. Thanks to PDFB script files downloading, indexing, filtering, sorting and naming is just a single click! The scripts are simple semicolon separated text files with all data necessary for the Fakebook parser to automate the boring work.

The latest Fakebook update - 1.2.1, now available on Google Play and Amazon - is answering a few very specific user requests. We get a lot of feedback from musicians playing with the Skrivarna apps, always appreciated and very valuable. Your comments help prioritize features and make these tools even better. We hope a lot of you will find these requests useful: Automatic removal of duplicates on import. Playlists sometimes have duplicates or may contain songs already in the database. Now Fakebook will check if two songs are exactly the same and then not add the duplicate. Bold sans serif fonts. On some devices, especially with the inverted screen colors, this makes the songs easier to read. Transpose info preserved on import. When importing song lists from iRealb/iRealPro, Fakebook now also keeps transpose info. Furthermore, there are also a few small bug fixes and PDF parser improvements. Enjoy!
