Hi Guys,
I'm using pdfs and trying to put in time codes to make multiple page changes per song.
I'm having no problems with this, but do have something that I'd like to know more about.

I open the lyrics page and it opens full screen.
I click on the play button and the song starts.
I click on the clock and up comes the time code ready for edition.
So far, so good.
However, I can't see the pdf document with the words on it while I'm doing this.
This means that I can remember exaclty when I'm supposed to be changing pages.
I'm finding that I need to have the pdf open on another device while I'm doing the time code procedure.
Is there any way of having the lyrics page open for time code input and having the pdf showing at the same time?
Even half screen would do (as long as I can see each full page of the pdf so I know where ther page change should be).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

No, unfortunately not. And I know that this is an issue for timestamping pdfs. I will try to find a better approach for autoscrolling pdfs in version 4. For version 3, the only advice I can give is to configure the pdf view to show a whole page and restrict yourself to switching pages. That can be done without much try & error.

    Thanks Peter. Putting a pdf on one page doesn't really work for me.
    I use a combination of words with chords and written musical notation for intros and solos.
    It makes it very difficult to condense. Some of my pdfs are 12 pages long and I find this easier.
    I prefer to look at the pdf as little as possible during performance, so when I do look over to see musical data, I like the screen to be displaying exactly where I am in the song.
    My eyesight's not the best either, so I like big writing!!
    Not to worry, I'm happy to look at the pdf pages on another device while I'm inserting the time codes.
    You have a great product.
