This user guide will help you get the most out of MobileSheetsPro by providing detailed explanations of every screen and feature. While it s recommended that every user read this documentation in full, the most basic information needed to get started with MobileSheetsPro is covered in the next section.

7 As you will soon find, MobileSheetsPro has a vast number of features and options, so you will most likely find yourself coming back to this document once you have some experience with the application. The table of contents at the top will help you skip right to the section you need, as well as the index at the end. GETTING STARTED This section is going to briefly cover the essential features you need to know about to start viewing songs in your library. Later sections will cover the various parts of the application in detail.

8 U PGRA DIN G FRO M THE OR IGINA L MO B ILES HEETS If you are upgrading from the original MobileSheets and want to transfer your library over to MobileSheetsPro , the process is very simple. The first step is to generate a library backup using the original MobileSheets. To do this, access the settings screen by tapping the Options button at the bottom of the library screen. Then, tap on the Utilities section followed by the Backup Library option. Backing up your library in MobileSheets is basically the same as the process for MobileSheetsPro .

9 Once you have generated a .msb file, load MobileSheetsPro and use the library restore feature under Settings->Backup and Restore->Restore Library from Backup to restore your library from that backup file. After the restore finishes, you will have access to your entire library of songs, including all annotations, bookmarks, link points, and files. If your tablet has a limited amount of storage space and you aren t able to generate a backup file due to the size of your library, you can use the original MobileSheets companion app to back up the MobileSheets library and the newer MobileSheetsPro companion app to perform the library restore.

10 THE LIBR AR Y S CR EEN If this is your first time loading up MobileSheetsPro , your library will be empty and a help window will be displayed linking to this manual. Once that window is closed, a prompt will be displayed asking if you want MobileSheetsPro to manage your imported files. This is an important setting, as it determines whether MobileSheetsPro will copy imported files into a storage location it manages, or if it will use files from the locations you specify. It is normally 2 recommended to select Yes to let MobileSheetsPro manage your files, but if you have directories already set up with your files organized as you like, select No.
