Darn, got to the gig and discovered I forgot my Ipad pro which I use to display all
my leadsheets. So, I broke out my Iphone and got on the internet and went to my cloud storage where I keep all my leadsheets. The picture shows what it looked like. It worked really well but it sure was hard to read.

Deane stories like this say a lot about a man. Resourceful, capable, and reliable come to mind. Great job Deane.

Deane,

It's how one of the Apollo missions were able to return to earth using good old compasses, their 'thumbs' to estimate distances and old school logic and common sense.. etc when all the computers on board failed!

However ....


Transfer all your music (in PDF format) into your SD7, and store together with your registrations. Each time you recall a registration, the lyrics will be displayed automatically .... besides - the SD7 screen is a 'little' bigger than that of your iphone :-)

Happy weekend!

Thank you Bruno.
Donny, entire career of 60 years I have never been able to memorize songs. I can site read just about everything first time through but now memorize songs.

AJ, exactly where on the SD7 would I store my PDF lead sheets?

Hi Deane
Maybe a paper copy just tucked away and kept in the trunk of the car , wouldn't go astray?

Can't imagine how you managed to read that tiny little screen . Wow.
Good thinking ,though.

Riki,
I have over 4000 of these lead sheets. Paper copies are out of the question. I take requests and I never know what folks will ask for.

Deane

How do you choose the styles in real time, with that number of songs. Have you made up registrations, or do you have generic categories?

Bernie

Hi Bernie,
It is not a real issue. I use unreal book and the quick search feature requires only a few letters be typed and is super fast. I guess after years of using this system it just falls into place. Often I can find what I need before the song I'm playing is over.

That is fine for bringing up the lead sheet, but I was wondering about the styles you choose for 4000 songs off the cuff.
