Multi-Platform, Universal

MayEoinSongs is now available on Windows 10 devices!

It took a while, but my self-learning of code brought me down the Windows path, and now it's possible! The app has been built up from scratch to work on Windows 10 PC's, phones and tablets, taking advantage of the unique offerings Windows 10 has. And in true multi-platform fashion, song lists from the Android version are compatible with the Windows version, and vice versa.

I have sort of lost track of things regarding what has been newly added to both versions, as I have been working on both in tandem since before V5.0 on Android. That being said, I'll update the relevant blog pages to avoid confusion. The cross-platform development was done in such a way as to keep as many things similar across both versions as possible. That being said, there's still a few layout changes that need to be made to both to keep this true.

There are still a few things needing to be implemented in order for seamless operation between the two platforms, so expect to see that in the coming months.

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 ...

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
