s.mart Songbook Online Importer

1. In the smartChord app open the Song Library, tap Import and switch on Import online. The app shows a session code.
2. Type that session code into the field above, or open the link from the app's QR code, which brings it along.
3. Paste your songs into the text area, or pick song files with Open files….
4. Press Import. The app opens its import screen with your songs, where you finish the import.

Several songs at once: separate them with a line containing {new_song}.

Open files… puts that separator in for you, and you can use it again and again: every round of files is added below what is already there, separated the same way.

A song without a {title:…} directive is named after its first line.

Encodings are recognised on their own: plain ASCII and UTF-8 ChordPro files, files with a byte order mark (UTF-8, UTF-16), and files that cannot be UTF-8 are read as Windows-1252 (ANSI/Latin-1), which is what older editors on Windows write. The status line names the encoding each time. Should a file still arrive with the wrong characters, set the encoding in the list beside Open files… and open it again.
