Alex,
I think another great app for this sort of thing would be List Recorder and you could choose either text, or audio or both for your notes. I don’t have the app store link but just search for list recorder. I believe there still is a free version of this so you could give it a try. The full version I believe is $9.99 and worth every penny.

I don't know why things changed, or exactly when, but it used to be that a lot of apps that display rtf files would do exactly what you want. Somewhere along the line, though, they started not working correctly. You can't flick to anything, and everything appears as one big chunk of text. I'm not sure why this happened, but I believe that some kind of change in iOS did this. My only suggestion is to maybe give Voice Dream Writer a try.

I'm going to give it a try though, so stick with me. Here goes. I'm playing some music (I'm on bass) and I need to write down the set list, keys and where they change, and notes to myself. For instance, I need to remind myself that on this song I kick it off by sliding to a low F, or there's a rest at the end of the third chorus where *everyone* is silent. I also need the actual bass notes for some of them, but others I know well enough that the key and any voicing/structure instructions are enough. I tried using a slate and stylus, but any change the director makes forces me to rewrite the whole page, plus I can't fit things how I want to. I don't have a real brailler, or access to an embosser, and even if I did, we're back to the point about changes. My current plan is to write all this information on my phone, so I can just select the next song and read through my notes. Each song can't have just one big block of text, though, and that's where, at long last, we arrive at my question. I want to be able to find the next song in my list, and open it. I want to then see a list of individual notes, so I can swipe left or right to move from note to note. For instance, a song opens up and the first item is "start by sliding to low F". Swiping right once reads the notes for the intro, and another swipe the notes for the first verse, and so on. There's too much to try to listen to everything at once, so I need to break it down into smaller pieces I can look at one at a time, and can repeat if necessary. For anyone wondering, no, I don't have a braille display. There's my question. Is there a way to write text, then have an app present it in such a way that I can flick between paragraphs in that text, like how a webpage works? I really hope I'm making some kind of sense; let me know if I can clarify anything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
