Lost Direct songs

bobb · Post by **bobb** » Thu Jun 13, 2019 5:52 am

On my 61 note PA4X I keep a (stubby) USB in the back port and use that to store my Songbook and Set lists.

When playing yesterday, about 10 of my 'Bob' Set list of songs wouldn't work because 'Couldn't find musical resource'.
When I inspected my USB using Songbook Editor it became obvious that the 10 songs in question had lost their 'Unit' and 'Path' (either blank or pink blank).

No problem to re-input this information but there are probably many more I have not come across yet.

1. Any ideas why this may have happened?
2. Is it possible, using Songbook Editor, to copy and paste the information
if I find lots like this? The 'Path' field doesn't seem to be displayed!!
Thanks
Bob

Some more information.
I have about 30 set lists, one of them is ‘Bob’ and all are Direct on this USB.
Bob has about 50 songs on it, of which, 10 (as above) have lost their pathways.
I’s only ‘ Bob’ that I regularly play but I have checked this morning and it would appear that it is only the ‘Bob’ set list that has been affected..
Thanks
Bob

Do the songbook entries user styles? if so have you moved any of the styles that you used to create the songbook entries in your 'bob' folder?
If you have you will have to either put the styles back where they were or change the location of the styles in the songbook.
Hope this helps

Hi Tony
Yes, they were probably all ‘User’ styles so now you’ve asked that, it probably explains why the problem is confined to the Bob set list (my own concoctions) and none of the others! Good thinking.
However, no, I have not move any styles around, but I have in the dim past and have experienced the missing style problem but I think, in those cases, the Unit and Path would still be correct (only the style fields would be incorrect)

Thanks for your help
Bob
