I expect this to be a very quiet forum since DFB is quite simple, but if you have any questions or suggestions I am here to help.

You mean so you can have the words larger than the screen, like an auto-cue? That's a different mode of operation to the way DFB keeps the whole song on the screen at once. How would you anticipate that working? I assume you would do something like set a scroll speed and press a key to start the scrolling?

The problem is that there is nothing to sync the song position to, so the only thing that could be done would be a constant speed scroll. I'm not sure that would be a significant benefit above just having the whole song on the screen at once.

Anyway, I'll add it to the feature request list so I can mull over how to implement it without impacting other functionality.

i am a pro entertainer and i have a few remarks, are remarks welcome here to improve the digital fake book?
:)

Absolutely. Fire away. :)

Number one is already in the ToDo list, but requires significant changes under the hood to implement, so I haven't had time to do it yet.

Is number 2 not achievable by dragging the divider all the way to the right, or have I misunderstood what you're suggesting?

I play media files using DrectShow. It's even possible (but not supported) to link a video file. The DirectShow support for MIDI files is very limited. Once I start getting into being able to edit MIDI files – things like muting parts – this would become a proper music program, of which there are many better programs around.

Thanks for the ideas, Alex. :)

I definitely do not want to go commercial. I just don't have the time. DFB is just a little thing I wrote for myself that I'm happy to share.

I'm still not getting how removing the divider is any different than just grabbing it and moving it all the way to the right. Do you mean you still want 2 columns, but no divider between them?

I meant that the user will have the option once he hits the new song button to have a 1 page undivided or a 1 page divided since the fact is that the divider is rarely used for the entertainers i know and dragging it to the right is a nag.

Okay, that would be easy to implement. I'll put it on the list.

That s not very important anyhow, the most important is to be able to import a jpg or a bmp file into the sheet so the user can scan the music sheet and read it with your soft

That one is already on the list. :)

That's a good idea. I have enhancments to the export/import system planned and this could be part of that. I'l make sure it's on the ToDo list.
