It's great idea. Do you plane make smth like GuitarPro in the future?

A complete GuitarPro-like program would exceed my skills, I guess.
It is a complete notation and music-playing system.
My work is "only" derived from "Chord4" a successor of the legendary "chord" program. It's quite useful anyhow. You can load a lot of sources for ChordPro format and do transposition.

Hello yuryfdr,
I have a PB903 and would like to work with your "pi".
I tried to work with it like this:
1. when I start the program, "Long OK..." is shown
2. in the menu, I select "File->New" and get a blank page with the keyboard opened
3. I type in a line and finish by clicking the return button on the keyboard
The line is placed on top of the sheet and the keyboard disappears.
I would have expected that the keyboard remains and I can continue by typing the next line.
4. I worked around that problem by "menu->Edit->Insert After"
a new line was created which I could edit.
With the down cursor I marked the new line and continued with 4.
5. for saving I selected "menu->File->Save"
the appearing dialog shows a lot of unknown folders. I was not able to find my own folders.
appart from that, I could not find out how to name the file.

Can you give me some hints how to work with it?
Thank you.

Regards,
kyriako.

you own folders may be in:
/mnt/ext1/ - book internal memory folder
/mnt/ext2/ - sd card

Hi Yury

thank you very much for your work!

I'm using your prg with a 622 touch
I've some problem with the buttons, the scroll bar and the '..' to change to upper dir because they're too slim for my fingers

Is there a way to enlarge them?

thankyou again

Paolo

Hello yuryfdr,
thank you. I finally found my files.
When I open a (Windows)text file, at the end of each line there is a mark for the CR-Byte.
My suggestion: an item in "options" for selecting Windows/Unix(and perhaps Mac)ending.
Perhaps in addition a selection for showing only the "mnt" files and folders, like the "library".

I still have the problem as mentioned under 2. and 3. that continuous writing is not possible.
Is that a malfunction of my device?

Regards,
kyriako.
