Book

If you have a playlist it is very easy to make a book in pdf format based on that playlist.

Right-click on the playlist and select . After the question of what the book should be called (by default this is the title of the playlist) the music tracks in the playlist are converted one by one, after which the tracks are placed one after the other (in the order of the playlist) and the result is shown on the screen.

When converting, MusiCAD uses a layout template (by default mc-defbook) to be able to align the layout. Under [Files] you can select your own layout template.

The page numbering (visible as $# is arranged so that numbers run continuously. To use the book title in the layout template, you can use the macro $sBookTitle. The macro $iBookItemNr gives the possibility to use the sequence number in the playlist.

mc-defbook

Below is the content of the layout template used to generate book-pages:

melody "mc-defbook";
!# USETEMPLATE( mc-preferences );  ! use the previously set layout preferences
!# SET( sFL, $V );                 ! put today's date at the bottom left
!# SET( sFC, $(sBookTitle) );      ! put the name of the book at the bottom center of each page
!# SET( sFR, $# );                 ! put the page number at the bottom right
!# SET( sHR1, [$(iBookItemNr)] );  ! put the sequence number in a border at the top right
