• 2: Collaboration
• 3: Research
• 4: Tutor

1 - Big Band

You play the trumpet in the big band “The Reluctant Syncopators”. Your band has PDFs of the scores stored on an online folder. Some PDFs contain all voices (Song.pdf), some are split up into the different voices (Song-trumpet-2.pdf).

Preparing a playlist for a gig

You took over the moderation of the gig, so you do not have much time between the songs. Therefore you prepare a playlist note:

• You create a new note for the gig and make it the current note.
• For each song in the gig list:
  • You find the relevant PDF score file.
  • You open it with the built-in PDF viewer.
  • Within the score file you find the starting page of the notes for your voice (trumpet 2).
  • You create a link from the current page and add it to the current note.

During the gig, you just tap the next link from the playlist note to get to the relevant page of the next song.

Adding playing instructions

Each score is a PDF that contains scores for each instrument. To instruct guest players, add an Info folder score-Info to each score, with a file per instrument group (e.g. trumpets.pages) that contains

• overall playing instructions, such as which mute to use,
• for each instrument voice (trumpet 1, trumpet 2, trumpet 3) the page number within the score file to look up the relevant notes quicker.

The trumpets may manage their own information and share it in a trumpet-internal overlay folder, so other instrument groups even do not see the annotations.
