How to send (edit) songs (from irb to editor)

[Craig Bumgarner]

When I send a chart from iRB to my email (gmail) on my PC, the link is not active. I notice the same thing when I email from the on-line editor to gmail. The link is not active on the PC copy, but is on the iTouch gmail copy. So I can go from editor to iTouch okay, but not the other way around.

Just for grins, I sent one from iRB on iTouch to my regular email account and opened it with Thunderbird. The link worked properly and I could copy and import the link back into the editor. So it looks like a gmail problem.

Hi Craig,

when I copy a tune link in the email box on the web editor,
I right click and select copy link location.

When I paste it into the body of an email I want to send (like from my hotmail account) it doesn't look like a link. It looks something like this:

irealbook://New%20Song=Composer%20Unknown=Medium%20Swing=C=n=% 5b%2aAT44C%5e7%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20 %20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7 c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%5d%5b%2aB%20%20%20%20 %7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%2 0%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20%20%20%7c%20%20% 20D%5d%20

(just a random chart file I used for test purposes, only the first C and last D displayed)

I emailed it to my gmail account and it still looks like a field of random text. Not a link.

When I highlight and copy the above text and paste it into the import window of the web editor, it opens the chart just fine.

The iPod (with irb installed) apparently recognizes the irb file, displays it as a link, and when you tap it, it opens the chart in the irb app.

Hope that is helpful to you,
BOB

Yeah, that works. Thanks!

Bob, BTW, thanks for all those great GJ charts!
