Sounds good. I particularly like the ability to edit and correct as you mark song parts. I'd love this feature for the current import methods.

It would be great if it could automatically differentiate chord line and skip them. But this is a great 2nd option.

I'm guessing that if the page was scanned into the PDF as an image file, like most multifuntion devices do, rather than made from some sort of text file, that you won't be able to select the text, unless you happen to include some sort of OCR software that can read text from a graphic file.

Correct. The importer works for PDF documents that contain actual text elements.

Good to know. I can just imagine a last minute song from the worship leader. You grab the chord chart and scan it on the multi-function in the church office, only to find out that the PDF is just one big graphic and you're going to have to type up the lyrics anyway.

But better to know ahead of time that waste a lot of time trying something that isn't going to work.

And I also understand that there is really nothing you can do about that.

MS OnoeNote can be used to OCR an image.

That sounds interesting . I may have to look into that.

Thanks.
