Look Ahead in Portrait Mode and AirTurn pedals

A couple of people reported problems with AirTurn BT pedals that caused problems with look ahead. After weeks of pursuing the problem, it turns out that the AirTurn pedals were in the wrong mode. You need to set your AirTurn to direct mode 1.

Note: This MODE is for AirDirect specific apps only. AirDirect
MODE was created to prevent conflicts with the virtual
keyboard.

  1. Power on the AirTurn
  2. Be sure the AirTurn is in MODE 1 (Hold down the MODE
    button for 1 blink of the red light)

Example of Mode button and LED that indicates mode.

Individual File Zoom will make unrealBook remember the current zoom for every file. This is useful if you have a lot of files that have different image sizes.
Animate Page Turns will provide animation when a page is turned.
Turn off zooming will turn off zooming and scrolling of the music. (This has been largely superseded by 2 Fingers For Pan). I recommend using 2 Fingers For Pan instead.
Nothing on page when Toolbar hidden– when the toolbar is hidden, hide the set list popup and other controls leaving a clean page.
Half Page Scroll in Landscape– when in landscape will try and turn the pages halfway for every tap.
Hide toolbars after selection – after a file has been selected, the toolbars will be hidden.
Look ahead in portrait mode – will show the top half of the next page for 2 seconds before turning the current page. This only works when the iPad is in portrait orientation.
Hide Menu Bar – will hide the iPad menu bar and give you back a little more room for your music. (Note: you must quit and restart unrealBook when changing this setting).
Bigger list text– possibly useful when using the iPad mini.
Less Network Alerts – when connecting via Bluetooth will show less alerts .
Use Amber Tint – use this for night mode – it will give the music an amber tint.
Set Default Landscape Zoom For Files – supersedes Default landscape zoom value. If you have a bunch of landscape files that are the same. Set the zoom once and then choose Set Default Landscape Zoom for Files. Now all files that are loaded without custom landscape zoom settings, will use the default landscape settings that you have saved with this command.
Default landscape zoom value – this sets the default zoom when in landscape when you double-tap in the center of the screen.

Use scrolling set list for 2 page display – If enabled, you can enable the new scrolling visual mode. Useful in landscape – this allows you to scroll through pages and see 2 pages at a time. If you are in portrait mode – you can scroll vertically.

Open scrolling list in landscape – If enabled, when you tilt the iPad into landscape (and rotation is enabled on the iPad), the 2 page display will open automatically.

Big view for set lists – will display a large window with the set lists. Note – the configure button is not available in this mode.

InvertPDF in Dark Mode – Experimental. If your iPad is in dark mode, the PDF will be inverted (white on black). This option is only available when dark mode is enabled on the iPad.
