SongSheet Pro version 2022.4 has been released on the App Store. It represents a major overhaul of the Library view and how you can organise your songs:

Tags

The old icon-based tagging system has been replaced with new text-based tags. Now you can apply any tags you want to your songs. Create categories using tags, and see them on your Library screen.

When viewing a song, tap the new tag icon in the top navigation bar to edit the song’s tags:

Genre has also been folded in to this new tagging system; any genres you specified previously will now appear as tags.

The Library view has been updated to add a new Tags section that lists all tags that have been created.

From this view you can rename tags, delete them, and create new tags. Drag and drop songs from the song list onto a tag to add that tag to those songs.

Tags can be merged, too. Just rename a tag to the same name as another, and SongSheet will merge the two tags. This is especially handy if you discover you have accidentally created the same tag with different spellings.

Sorting and filtering

The bottom filter bar has been removed and a new filter button has been added next to the Sort button. All filtering options are now available on iPhone as well as iPad.

The work here lays the foundation for a more advanced filtering system to come in future updates.

Other improvements

There are new “Favorites” and “Flagged” collections in the Library view. You can quickly flag or mark a song as a favorite in the song view, or by dragging songs from a song list into the relevant collection. Song lists now show when songs are flagged or favorited.

And a couple more:

  • the Library view’s list of set lists no longer displays set list duration (this could slow down the responsiveness of the user interface when there were a lot of set lists, or set lists contained a large number of songs)
  • icons have been updated across the app to make them more consistent

Let me know what you think!
