What is the best way to merge databases?

I have too many disparate databases and I would like to shrink them down to a few.

I was previously keeping separate databases for different concerts for the same ensemble.  After doing this for several years now, I find I’m duplicating some tunes in different databases when I don’t need to.

Thanks,

Ralph

There is no easy way to do this at the moment. It's something I want to address. For now, you have to long press a song, tap each other song to move, tap Share->Export as .msf, then reselect those songs and delete them. You can then import the .msf file in the other library to move things over.

Ok…thanks.  I may try that on one or two…but it may just be easier to delete the unwanted databases and re-import.  Especially since I have the files elsewhere.

Just remember that re-importing from the original files means you will lose any annotations and meta data (if you use those features)
