Multi-tenancy with Subdirectories

If you want to copy another musician's data into your SongBook+ without overwriting your own data, you can now also create subdirectories in SongBook+ with completely separate data.

Each of these directories then contains its own database (files SongBookMidi.sqlite, SongBookMidi.sqlite-shm, SongBookMidi.sqlite-wal), its own settings (file SongBookMidi.settings), and your own files (PDF, MP3,...).

Creating and accessing such subdirectories is unfortunately not possible via iTunes, but only via the Wi-Fi sharing feature of the SongBook+ folder or through the "Files" app.

For more information on accessing via Wi-Fi sharing or the "Files" app, visit the page Using Wi-Fi Sharing (Windows PC, Mac Computer).

Simply create directories starting with "SBDATA_", for example:

  • SBDATA_My data

  • SBDATA_Sandra

  • SBDATA_Thomas

The current folder can then be easily switched in the settings.

After selecting a different folder, SongBook+ will close and must be restarted.
