Feature Request- Dropdown for Songbook Separation

TorontoKev

Hey! Just starting to introduce OpenLP to my team. A big sticking point is songbook separation.

We currently have a traditional hymnbook with 500 hymns that is only used exclusively morning service, praise songs exclusively used for praise services, camp songs, christmas songs... and we currently use OpenSong which has a handy dropdown ("Folders") which only songs from whichever book you want - or ALL if you prefer.

So my ideal would be

Dropdown Titled "Songbooks" with my pre defined selections and an ALL as default:

ALL Songs (800)Traditional Hymnbook (500)Praise Songs (250)Camp Songs (50)Christmas Songs (50)

I appreciate that i can search by songbook - but having them all in a list with the songbook in front is less than ideal.

Thank you for all the work you do!

I’d vote for some kind of tagging, in which one song can belong to multiple songbooks… e.g the same song in campsong, youth or sunday…

or sure! I've had a peak at the SQLLite database on this and the song-to-songbook table is many-to-many... so that's totally doable.

As a praise leader in my church I have used OnSong (nice product but iPad Only) and have different books/tags for "Classic Hymns that Slap" and "Kid Songs That Are Active" and "Callback Songs" for picking a good set list! And of course each of these are in multiple tags/songbooks.
