UPDATE MySongs Version 2.3

Version 2.3 (FREE and paid) is now available and contains a massive amount of bug-fixes, the app has been thoroughly fumigated.

New in this version:

New custom keyboard layout, now available across all devices.
For new installs, a sample song is included in the database by default. This serves as an example in formatting your own songs, and lets you see how the app works from the start.
Changes to the time signature and swing rhythm images (now solid black/white and better sizes). This will also enable the images to use the custom colour in a future version.
A rainforest-full of bugs have been fixed. Mostly to do with the apps handling of an empty database, but also include using the Load/Save feature after deleting songs and saving songs with no title (not allowed ;) )

With this version, there are also a small few known bugs which should be fixed in a future version.

Slight error in displaying keyboards on large screen devices; they cover the bottom of the Chords and Lyrics add/edit fields. Both the add/edit screens and keyboards still work perfectly, it's just a minor visual inconvenience.
The "CLR" button on the custom keyboard, I have noticed to be potentially stress-inducing if accidentally tapped, so it may be moved to the "Extras" panel or removed altogether in a future version.
The custom keyboard, while redesigned to work on smaller screens, still needs some fine-tuning as some labels extend beyond the bounds of the buttons, and also it is not too aesthetically appealing. But it shall be fixed!

Formatting songs

The app hilights section names to help distinguish the different sections of the songs. Chords are also hilighted to make them easier to read. Section names are not necessary, but are beneficial for you! Through the settings, chords can be set to display above the lyric line or inline, among the words. Custom colours are also set there. Custom section colours, with chord display set to "inline" Chords: When typing out the chords and lyrics, chords should be typed on a separate line above the lyrics. The app handles displaying them inline or above by itself. Chords should be positioned in the correct spot above the lyrics on which the change occurs. In order to denote a chord, simply enclose it in square brackets "[ ]". The opening square bracket should lie above the letter where the chord first enters. See below about using "[-" with chords to keep line spacing when inline display is selected. Section Names: In order to denote a section of ...
