Best Android app for sheet music set reading

Ok, so I purchased MobileSheets and imported my songs into a setlist, with autocrop. Looks pretty good so far. Big enough to see and read with my old eyes, especially since it’s more of a guide on the gig.

I need to figure out “collections” and setlists and many other aspects. I saw reference to its ability to decipher abc notation which would be cool if I could arrange and import right on the tablet. Of course that means I need to figure out which editor I like on android. I use EasyABC on Windows which I like. Anybody have recommendations for abc editor on android?
I may be mistaken, but I think I read that the latest MobileSheets Pro has an editor for EasyABC.

Yeah, I’ve seen that referenced but haven’t found it yet. Would be super cool. Although I can transfer wirelessly from the Windows….
 
Loaded MobileSheets free version to compare to ScorePdf.

MobileSheets looks pretty good. I have to figure out how to streamline it though. Takes five (!) clicks to go from one song in a setlist to another (non adjacent) one, back to the clean view. Would be nice if one click opened the setlist, and a second click selected a song and displayed only it. Maybe there’s a way but I can’t find it….

Figured it out. You can set it so a tap to the top “returns you to the library.” A tap on a song opens it clean. Weird.

Can only get down to 4 clicks in ScorePdf.
I have used mobile sheets companion and mobile sheets pro for almost 10 years. You can use a bluetooth pedal to turn the pages back and forth on a long piece. Or a mouse to click back and forth. I use a Ciicada page flip.
you can also create Set lists or sort by genre. One click selects the Set, one click opens a song.
Another useful thing is that it will automatically crop your songs if you want it to so as to get rid of extraneous white space.

Thanks Caps! Yeah, I need to work on the cropping a bit. Some of my sheets came out kind of “stretched” vertically, imagine it has to do with the original format.
 
Can you tell me, Is that mobile sheets lite or mobile sheets at £14 per month ?

The Android version I purchased is called “MobileSheets” by Zubersoft. It was a one time purchase of $15.

There is also a “MobileSheets Trial” that allows you to try it free but only allows 8 songs.

I don’t know about the iOS versions.
