Old and new features, this month's mails really are Frequently Asked Questions. I have been using Fakebook Pro for a few months now, and I LOVE it. However, there is a function I need, and I will explain why: I need a SORT PLAYLIST function.  (mainly sort by name [alphabetize], but I suppose sort by date might also be useful) I am not using the default fakebook songs but I am growing my own song library, and I add a few new PDF files each week. So I maintain a MY LIBRARY songlist, and for a weekly gig, I create a temporary playlist.  (typical, I’m sure) Well, every time I add a new song and add it to the MY LIBRARY playlist, I want it to appear alphabetically in that list. As it is now, I have to manually drag it into alphabetical order, and this is a slow, tedious process, especially when MY LIBRARY contains over 1000 songs. If I could add my new songs, and simply touch a “sort this playlist” command, that would make my weekly updates a LOT faster and easier. The “auto-so...

Is it possible to merge a 2 page PDF into one file on Fakebook Pro? The Fakebook Pro database saves all pages individually (to make it possible to split collections, reorder or repeat pages etc). It is recommended to follow the default naming convention of multi-page songs (e.g. "Song Name (1)", "Song Name (2)"), as that allows Fakebook to recognize pages belonging together. In an upcoming version (the feature is on the to-do) the list manager can then "collapse"/"expand" songs which will make sorting easier and provide a better overview. Another question: is it possible to import a pdf or pic file and have it take on the name of the document as the title automatically? That would save a lot of time! Yes, Fakebook will automatically suggest the file name as the name of the song, when importing a file. I don't know if I can import the real books (or sheet music) from my own Windows files, or how. For a "raw" impor...

With Android Nougat slowly rolling out to phones and tablets, the Fakebook Pro app gets better than ever. Version 2.6.1 supports the new Multi-Windows mode (more on that later) as well as security updates and improved font handling. But the new Fakebook Pro also brings some new song and list operations, including the possibility to completely clear the database or restore all the original songs. Fakebook Pro 2.6.1 - available on Google Play now!

Again, thanks to all Fakebook Pro users - the feedback you provide is invaluable and will help make the app even better! Love that it's so easy to transpose! Also great with own songs. Would be nice to be able to backup own collection as well as the choice of key. Thanks for the kind words. Backing up your song database is easy, you'll find it in the menu under Settings->Database and backup. The copy will also include the key you set for the song. Clef. Is there a Bass Clef Edition? As the 1600 chord charts included by default in the Fakebook Pro app do not contain notes or melody there is no clef. The chord charts can be transposed to suit Eb, Bb or F instruments, but this is of course not necessary for bass instruments in C key. Other music you import (e.g. PDF Real Books) must be in a suitable clef and key; we provide links to scripts to index some of the most popular at http://www.skrivarna.com/p/fakebook.html . As you can see there are also Bass clef version f...
