Version 3.9.18

ChordPro Improvements

MobileSheets now supports many ChordPro features that were currently missing previously, including:

  • The {image} directive which renders an image file or chord
  • The {chord} directive which renders a chord diagram, and {define} which specifies the chord details such as fingering and frets
  • Support for automatically generating chord diagrams for the chords used on each page
  • Support for all of the font directives to specify the font family, size and color used for chords, chorus sections, footers, etc
  • Support for SVG blocks, textblocks and inline images

Other changes include improvements to the option to remove gaps between pages so that there is never any added white space, and improved transposing logic.

Library Enhancements

A new option has been added to allow the storage for each library to be isolated so that file conflicts can no longer occur. Each library will store its files in a separate subdirectory under the storage location. Additionally, a new option has been added on the library screen to quickly switch between libraries.

Sharing Improvements

The sharing options have been renamed to be more clear and consistent, and the option to generate a list of song titles has been moved under the sharing menu to be more intuitive. A list of song titles can now be generated from any selected list of songs or groups on any tab.

Usability and Stability Improvements

A huge number of small fixes and adjustments have been made to help the app work more smoothly and reliably. This includes warnings to prevent mistakes that could cause data loss, intelligent defaults to help prevent conflicts, more frequent reminders for things like library backups and the removal of unncessary settings and options to reduce confusion. The manual has also been translated for every language using machine translation to provide more guidance for users around the world.
