From the December mails, here's some questions regarding importing and PDF files. Happy new year - and have fun playing!
I have Fakebook Pro but can't find a way to import my PDF files.
If you have PDF files with individual songs you can just put them on your device (phone/tablet) and then import them through the Fakebook menu -> Add new songs -> Import local file.
If you have collections (e.g. books with a lot of songs stored as a single PDF) I really recommend looking at
http://www.skrivarna.com/p/fakebook.html and
http://www.skrivarna.com/2014/02/automatic-indexing-of-pdf-real-books.html for hints on how to create indexes for such collections.
I am trying to download load pdf files for volumes of songs from
http://lewessaturdayfolkclub.org/LAFC/LFTunes.html. I have them on my
computer but I have to load them individually into your app. I don't
know how to work with the scripts you describe so please advise if there
is a better way for me.
As the songs on that site are stored in individual PDF files (i.e. they are not collected as pages in a PDF book), you'll have to import them one by one. If you put them all on your device (phone/tablet) internal storage, you can then add them via the menu -> Add new songs -> Import local file.
In an upcoming version we will add the possibility to add multiple files at the same time, e.g. to import a complete folder of PDFs, but that feature is not yet ready for release.
Hello, I would like to find out how many PDFs are included in this app.
I am looking for lyrics and chords for many popular songs.
Also, do you have a pop fake book?
There are actually
no PDFs included in the Fakebook Pro purchase. For copyright reasons only chord charts are preloaded, but there are over such 1200 jazz standards and 400 pop charts in the app. However, it is very easy to download and import PDFs and some books have scripts for automatic naming and indexing (which really helps). Have a look at
http://www.skrivarna.com/p/fakebook.html to see what's available.
For pop songs I'd say you should look at the script for the Slickbook PDF, otherwise most pop tunes and lyrics are available in Chordpro format (also supported by Fakebook Pro).
