Songbook split

If nomike's ukulele songbook grows too big to handle, it is split in two separate books. This happened twice so far, so there are four songbooks now (helium, argon, neon, xenon).

This document outlines the procedure of splitting the songbooks.

Note: The piano/keyboard edition did not exist before the last songbook split and is thus not mentioned here.

Split procedure

Update the songbook to the latest version before the split

At first you need to upgrade your songbook to the latest version (v. x.99.0). Follow the instructions on the pages for legacy, helium1, or neon1 respectively.

Throw away the cover

Throw away the cover pages and the index of the songbook, including the first page of the first song.

Split the songbook in half

Split the pile in half. The first half becomes pile 1, the second half becomes pile 2.
