I am since long an enthusiastic user of unrealbook. But I had like to ask you a question:

On my Mac desktop computer I can display pdf’s in different ways: 1 page, 2 pages horizontally side by side or 4 pages with 2 below the other 2. I am considering to buy a Mac Pro tablet because of it’s large screen (15’’). My question: When using my music-pdf’s with unrealbook on this tablet put up horizontally, is it possible to display the scores in the same way?

I am currently using PageFlip to turn the pages on my iPad, but I am not happy with it. I cannot move freely when performing and I have to concentrate to turn the page exactly in the right moment. That’s stressful and risky. Most of my music sheets are 2 pages, and if the screen is big enough, the pages side by side would be fine.

Best would be a self-turning system, synchronically to the playalong, as used by Sergej - with the great particularity that a part of the next page is anticipated at the end of the page; so there is perfect continuity for the performing musician (see the link below).

It would great if when linking PDF songs to your iTunes library, Unreal Book could suggest which song to link. For example, if you had a song named "Happy Birthday' and go to link the PDF via the "play music from library", Unreal Book would automatically populate the results with all songs that contained the words 'happy' and 'birthday' with 'happy birthday' at the top of the list. The alternative would be to have a search function from this same menu so you can type in the name of the song and not have to scroll thru iTunes to find it. When you have lots of songs in both Unreal book and iTunes, it can be difficult to find the matches. Thanks. Still loving the app and have convinced many friends that this is the best one.

It would be nice as I'm building set lists, for UnRealBook to calculate how long my set is. I oftern play 2-3 sets sometimes more per gig, and tray to keep them at roughly an hour, sometimes 45 min. I have to use Excel with my song list to do this currently. It would be nice to be able to maybe use Keywords to track duration, and prep time for use of calculating the time for instrument chnages, etc. to auto calculate the total time of my set based on which songs I choose. Some songs would have prep time and others may just have either no time or a standard 10 sec gap between. If that were configurable and the app calculated the set time, it would make gig planning much smoother and more effiicient! Thank You!

Please, Please consider adding more contrast to the view/presentation. Some "buttons" (actionable text) are near impossible to read. Please, please move away from the less-easy-to-use grey on grey on grey flat interface that Apple moved to with ios7 and removed the intuitiveness and ease of use that used to be present. For unreal book, please consider adding more darker colors and/or contrast. And, anytime an alphabet is shown vertically for moving thru songs, please make them a little bigger and add some type of feedback to know you're selecting the right letter before lifting your finger. Having to look to the left for the results to see if the iPad correctly sensed that you picked the right alphabetic letter and then look back to the right if you have to re-select and then look back to the left for the results wastes too much time when you're trying to move quickly on a gig. Please just use the UI you may have had before 2013 and you'll be SET.

Thank you for lessening the animation delay when selecting ALL songs!

I use multiple iPads during performance for each musician (works fantastic btw, best app ever). Currently, we can display moving animation of Metronome by adding it to each chart. What I would like to see is this animation be triggered from Master to Slave(s). Whether it's within unrealBook or via some other method like sending midi clock info out somehow I have no idea. Even if it is just sync'd the count-in, that would be great so each musician could see when we are all spread out on stage. I just would like it to be linked to a chart just like the current Metronome is.

Not complaining, btw - all my musician friends love this app. But you know how it is, you show us what you can do and we of course want more.

When in all files, the vertical (index) alphabet line has the letters too close together for my adult fingers to hit just one. When you are holding and instrument, with an ipad pro wiggling around on a mic stand, it's pretty hard to hit an I or an n the first try without getting a couple of neighboring letters and then starting over. It isn't practical to grab a "poker" and still find the piece you want in a timely fashion. I've been using this system for over 3 years in a 'real world' situation and it does very well except for this one weakness.
