Just in case you have any songbooks in pdf format:

A freeware pdf file splitter and merger software can be downloaded from http://www.paologios.com/

Hi

The software can split a pdf file (e.g. a fake songbook) in seperate pages.

Afterwards a number of these pages can be merged into a new pdf file (e.g. a user song book).

Meaning, if you have a number of pdf files (song books) you can select individual pages (songs) and create your own pdf file (song book)

Regards
Jørgen

I sometimes save web pages or anything to a pdf file. With a pdf it saves the whole page, pictures and eveything as one file. The greatest thing for me is to be able to combine multi pdf's into one.
To make custom songbook is also a great idea.
many fakebooks are available on the net in pdf format.

Does this program or any other freeware allow you to save your own scanned music in pdf format?

Hi Scott

No. This software is for splitting multi page pdf files into individual pdf files (pages); and for merging individual pdf files (pages) into a multi page pdf file.

For a "scan to pdf" software: Do a Google search. Lots of free stuff.


Regards
Jørgen

Jorgen:

Thanks for the link, even more so thanks for the idea on creating your own fake books by separating and merging. I knew it was a great tool but until you mentioned the merge portion I had never thought about using that way.

I have given some thought for a long time to use a laptop (or maybe the MusicPad Pro) for my music. It seems to me that if one is going to use a laptop that the pdf format may be the best route to take, being able to quickly go to a specific page and "turning" pages rather easily with the arrow keys.

Those of you that have experimented with the different ways of doing lead sheets in your laptop, what do you think is the slickest way to go?

The only thing though, still is that issue of the portrait vs landscape mode. I wonder if using that Pivot Pro or whatever it's called along with pdf or some other format would be as good a way to go even over the Music Pad Pro, seeing as they alone are $1200.

Had I known that Music 123 was going bankrupt and they were apparently trying to save their butt at the time, I guess I may have bought one for $400.

Scott, I bit the bullet last year and bought
an MPP, yes very pricey. But now that I have it I couldn't live without one. For me that is the best way..........BTW that Music 123 sale of $400 for an MPP was a year too late for me.
