Songbooks

[stublack]

I didn't vote on this poll because there was not an option that fit.

I used KJ Pro in the past before I purchased Hoster.
I have used Excel for other purposes and did consider using it for my songbooks.

For my purposes the Hoster Songbook is just a lot simpler.

So if there was an option that said Hoster Songbook is better for your purposes than any other program that you've used I would have place my vote there

I have KJPro, but I really like the songbook feature in Hoster. I convert the output file to an SQL database and post it on my web site. My customers can create search criteria and make their own songbooks rather than go thru mine.

I used KJ Pro for a long time prior to buying Hoster. With most processes, you have to be aware of all sorts of shortcomings with each process. (I don't want to use "problem" as a word in this application) With KJ Pro, Hoster and most Song book creators, there is always going to be necessary changes, such as typos, Song title inconsistencies, and other errors. I spend quite a bit of time correcting the database for Hoster, as I did with KJ Pro, however, I do like the format and flexibility with the Hoster songbook creator, such as porting the list to a SQL db or Word or even PDF.

Don't have a lot of experience with other programs but I found the Hoster Songbook to work well for my level of computer expertise (very little)

Did I see that one of the features in Version 4 was the ability to delete duplicates in the songbook?

In Hoster 4 we have the ability to prevent any song from showing up in the songbook. You don't delete the duplicate using the songbook, you just select it so it won't show up when you print your books.

I Hope This Helps.

Select "Hide" in the Edit Songs function for the duplicates (to further explain your answer Jim).

I 've got quite a lot of songs in my database and would have to have several sessions selecting the duplicates I didn't want in my book. Is there anyway I can save my work until I complete the task
