Switching between TXT and PDF lyrics view

bogglie

Hi,
Is there a key combination (preferably a way to send MIDI command) to switch between text and pdf based lyrics (obviously if available for the song).
I have some songs with tabs in pdf but I also have some notes and other stuff in text form. While performing song it would be helpful for me to choose/switch which file I need.
If such functionality I can see as a new feature - please include it.

Thank you.

No, if you have a pdf attached, it will always be displayed exclusively.

OK, thanks. That's what I thought.

For anyone who is looking into this problem - I simply duplicated the tracks. Copy1 - I keep with PDF, copy2 - I keep the TXT based notes with. Job done 😃

bogglie Definitely the simplet work around and you can colour the pdf/text songs differently to easily destinguish between them when choosing a next song.

Duplicating a song will not even take up additional storage space.

How about making your text based notes into a pdf and then combine the pdfs into one. Then you can just scroll or inset time stamps in lyrics to go to that page or part of a page.

I just replied to another thread on this, but I thought I’d chip in here.
For me the issue is that I tend to have a “cheat sheet” that I make into a PDF on my iPad of chords and riffs and stuff, then I will add the lyrics too. It would be great to have a midi button to switch between the two.
My problem about having two songs is that if I then sync multiple iPads over the network, everyone sees my change, which won’t be helpful for them.
