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. It takes any section titles out of the lyrics, and tries to get rid of any extra empty lines. There is a bit more work to perfect it, but I think it's good enough for some real world testing.

There are also some behind the scenes changes, just improving memory usage and the like

Test it out and let me know any problems!

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 ...

UPDATE MySongs V4.0.1 (patch)

A patch has just been released for the latest version that introduced support for Google Drive backup (V4.0). This patch is a stab at fixing a mysterious bug that occurs (on both versions) when displaying some song layouts. It also fixes some minor keyboard issues on the paid version. - Mayeo
