UPDATE MySongs Version 3.0

MySongs has been updated to version 3.0 EDIT 18 May 2014: Free version now updated to v3.0 as well. New in this update is the ability to save and load multiple playlists. Just make your list, and tap the "Load/Save" button from the menu. Add a name and save it. You can update a list by typing the name in again and it will overwrite. Select a song from the spinner and tap "Load" to load it. Simples! The major feature in this update is the (BETA) ability to display chords and lyrics at the same time. It does require a little bit of tinkering to get the display just right. Just keep adding blank lines to the lyrics/chords to get the fit just right.

The future

It has been a while since any updates/progress on the app. But I'm still working, in between college work. Firstly, I've been working on the ability to save different playlists, with names.

You know the way you generally see chord sheets, with the chords on a line above the lyrics? Have that pretty much nailed. There is a little bit of tinkering to be done by you, the user. Just add a couple empty lines at the start of the lyrics to make it line up with the chords. When it works, it works beautifully. When it doesn't quite work, you still get the gist of it. Just have to add a check to see if there are lyrics AND chords for the song. If the mode is selected and both are there, then display both. Otherwise we just display whatever you have for the song. Pretty major update, that last one....
