Hi, I'm a new Mobilesheets user.
I've read through quite a few posts of the forum and particularly on the csvfiles section and I have also read the import section of the Mobilesheets manual, but I can't find out how to do what I want.
I sing in a choir. We're rehearsing Bach's St Matthew Passion. The score for this is a 300 page pdf containing about 80 separate movements.
I want to import the pdf along with a list of bookmarks, eg
Bookmark1, Page 1
Bookmark 2, Page 5
Bookmark 3, Page 20
...
Bookmark 80, Page 299
The end result I am looking for is one song on Mobilesheets with 80 bookmarks.
I tried creating a simple test file. (See attached files: MyFirstCSV-PDF.csv and MyFirstCSV-PDF.pdf) The pdf has 4 pages and the csv file looks like this
Title;Pages;
Piece 1;1-3
Piece 2;4-4
I used the dialogue >Import > CSV or PDF Bookmarks > Navigated to my files on OneDrive > Selected the csv file. (I also tried the same but selecting the pdf file but that gives an error 'No bookmarks found')
This created 2 songs which is kind of what I expected having read other threads. I just want one song with two bookmarks.
My questions are:
1. Can you help me to import one big song with many bookmarks as described above?
2. If not, do I have to import my file and create 80 songs in a big setlist?
If I do that, can I scroll seamlessly throuigh the songs as if they were in a single 'book'? If the conductor says to start from page 200, will that page number exist in my setlist?
Thanks for any help, solutions or altermative approaches.
