Attaching charts to your songs
If you have a document for a song, such as a chord chart, lyric sheet or music notation, you can copy that document into Set List Maker and then attach it to the song record. Then a document icon will appear in song lists, which you can tap to view the document on your device. You can watch a tutorial video, or read on for more details:
- Set List Maker can display .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .pages, .key, .rtf or .txt documents.
- To copy documents to your device, use the file sharing feature in iTunes. With your device connected, click it in the iTunes sidebar; then click the Apps tab for your device; then scroll down to the File Sharing section and click Set List Maker. For more info on iTunes File Sharing, click here.
- Alternatively, if you can open the chart from another app on your device, you can choose the "Open in..." command to send it to Set List Maker. For example, if someone emails you a chart as an attachment, you can tap the chart from the email message, then use the "Open in..." command.
- Once the documents are copied into Set List Maker, open a song edit window and tap the Chart button. This will open a list of documents you have copied in; just tap to select the desired chart.
- If you have created your document by scanning a piece of paper, the file size will be relatively large, which will make the document open slowly when you view it within the app. The best documents are created from an electronic source such as a Word or Pages document. If you don't have an electronic source, you can experiment with your scanning settings (e.g., black and white and 150 or less dpi) to minimize your file sizes.
