I am a big fan of Songbook+ by Baum Software

I have just quickly reviewed the OnSong app, and it looks interesting - especially being able to manage the library via PC console. But the following Songbook+ features are critical for me (I have looked at the OnSong User Manual but as a newbie find it a bit daunting):

- Equivalent of an action button which can be tapped onscreen to select a song from the Korg Songbook using the decimal Korg song code (not converting the song code into MSB and LSB codes etc
- Similarly, the equivalent of an action button to send changes in Variations, Endings and so on

Are these possible?

This means that you can also remotely trigger functions via Onsong, that you normally trigger directly by pressing buttons or using the touchscreen on the Pa-Arranger.

For this, Onsong must be prepared so that PC console sends MIDI commands to the Pa-Arranger, which remotely triggers the functions via Onsong in the same way as you would otherwise do directly with the arranger's panel controls.

For example, instead of entering a songbook entry with the number 1234 on the Pa-arranger, this number 1234 is sent from Onsong to the arranger via MIDI to remotely control the selection of a songbook entry. The same applies to the manual change of Variations or Endings during songplay, which can be transmitted remotely via Onsong instead using the arranger's buttons or touchscreen.
