<p>Good suggestion Howard. I will put it to my web developer. Currently the database is being loaded so many new scores will appear daily, as time progresses and the number of scores available becomes fewer it may be that a "Latest" button would be good. Currently I think it may be confusing. </p>
<p>Thanks for all the suggestions and scores. Please keep the offers coming. You can contact me by the email link on the Music Library page.</p>

<div>One suggestion for the “Sheet Music Library” is to have a <strong>Date</strong> field containing the date the entry was added to or changed within the database.</div>

<div>This would be useful when accessing the database to see what is new since the last time one checked the database.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>In the “Main / Latest Activity” section, if a member misses a post that mentions a new entry was added or changed, then he might never find out about it unless he just happens to specifically look that title up.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ideally the “Sheet Music Library / More Options” section could contain both “Show All By Title” and “Show All By Date”.</div>
<div><br/>As the database continues to grow a “Show All By Date” capability would enhance browsing by showing what is new since the last time one browsed, whether that be several days, a week or more.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hopefully a “Show All By Date” is not beyond the limitations of the Ning software and would not be an overwhelming task for the database programmer.</div>
<div><br/>The “Sheet Music Library” is a milestone within the Classic Banjo community and thanks to the database creators and the sheet music contributors.</div> Hey Mike,

<p>What I meant was that the question marks themselves seemed out of place. there was no problem with what preceded them. "Show All" is perfectly appropriate. "Show All?" (the same words followed by a question mark) is odd because it seems to be asking something where it should be offering something. And it seems to be introducing an element of doubt.

Let's say you're on your lunch break and go to a restaurant and the items are followed by question marks. Instead of "coffee" it says "coffee?". The customer wonders if this is a warning. Maybe it isn't really coffee. But this is all small stuff. I'm not complaining about the anomalies, I'm enjoying them.<br/> <br/> <cite>thereallyniceman said:</cite></p>

<p>I agree with AlabaMArc , the Show All is just what was needed. Thanks for that. Now I get a comprehensive view of the whole collection and I also get to discover anomalies I may have otherwise missed. For instance I now notice that there are Two Pensacolas, one intermediate and one difficult. They are pretty much the same arrangement but the "difficult" one comes with more fingering indications so contains more ink. So i guess reading it is more difficult although playing it is not!
