Howdy......... Fred, I have a question for you about Songbook.  I have been watching your video about hooking up my Ipad to my Tyros 5. You stated that you have to give the song a name and save it as a Midi file.  Is that correct?  Also,  I have some songs that are 3 or 4 pages as PDF's.  Will this work for me?

Thanks,

Chuck,

The file name is immaterial. It's needed only for human recognition.

It's the contents of the file -- the midi commands which tell Songbook which PDF to load -- that are important.

Handling multi-page PDFs is easy. All you need is a midi file which tells SongBook to turn the page, then incorporate that into your registration at the appropriate place.

Attached is a zip file with a sample midi file to load a PDF (Clementine.mid), and midi files to turn the page.

Cheers,
Fred
