How to delete a defective song?

I emailed myself a song and only the first line of the code was underlined (not the typical irb link) I tapped on it (iPad)
iReal b opened and immediately crashed.. I opened iReal b and there was the "song" in my main index. When I touch that song, the app crashes.
Swiping my finger across the title doesn't bring up a delete button and I can't move it to trash without first opening the song. (which causes a crash)
Except for having the "bad" song installed, the app seems to run normally. Any Ideas?

Hi Bob,
Sorry about the inconvenience.
On the iPad you can only delete songs when they are in view unfortunately.
If you can email me the faulty song code I'll have a fix that doesn't crash in the next update so you can delete it.
Use the support email address found in Hub -> Support in iReal b
 
Similar problem here. How do I delete a song from the main Library? It's not one of the original ones that came with the app a couple years ago, but an "edited" version that I gave a new name (Don't Get Around Much Anymore 2). I have a #3 version also that I'm trying to delete from the main list.
 
For goodness sake, that was too easy! Thanks.

Another question. I have edited several songs (assuming I edited the original version). If I download the latest Jazz 1200, would the download overwrite all the "changed" songs?

No, that would be bad.
 
So you're saying don't down the whole thing, right? And just handpick the songs I know for sure aren't in my Library already?
 
You can download the whole list without fear or losing your edited songs. Also existing songs that haven't been edited won't be duplicated.
 
Is there a way to recognize if a song has been edited from the original version? I know if I edit with "Duplicate" a #1 appears after the title. If I just "edit," is that now the new original?
 
Thanks, as always, for the quick replies. After a bit of playing around with it, here's how it worked for me.

When I chose "Edit" a song, it kept the original title with changes, including a key transposition.

When I chose "Duplicate" a song, it added the number "1" after the title, and kept the changes.

When I then re-downloaded the Jazz 1200, it added the song in the original key, except now with a number "3" after the title.


It seems to me that the "original" should just be the plain title, and any future edits or duplicate versions would have the numbers after. Yes? Then I would know instantly if I made any changes to that song.
 
The numbering of identical duplicate titles is individual and specific to *your* app and is determined by the order that the additional duplicate titles are added to your app's library.

1st time that title is added to your library = no number
The next time you add a song with the same title = title 1 And so on.
Edit a duplicate of title 1 you'll get = title 1 1

If you remember to "edit a duplicate" if you want to alter your "original", your original will remain unchanged.
