When syncing ios creates duplicate songs.
Syncing on the macOS 15.4 does Not create duplicates.
Looking at the MacOS MobileSheets directory and the iOS MobileSheets directory
it appears that on iOS when syncing it is creating the song directory and putting the song in the song directory and in the root MobileSheets directory, putting the song in 2 different directories on ios.
Where on MacOS the song is only in the song directory.
If I Clear the Mobile Sheets library on iOS and resync it creates duplicates again.

Do you have Settings->Storage->Create Subdirectory per Song enabled on either device?

Yes, on both MacOs and iOS devices.
I plan to have backing tracks and midi for songs so I want that organized neatly.

Hmm ... now the MacOS Songs tab has dups too ...
If I deleted them and sync and the duplicates return on both MacOs and iOS.

In the iCloud Mobile Sheets sync directory I am looking at the file mobilesheets_hashcodes.txt and there are duplicates in that file.
But, there is a nuance to it ....
file:///Users/robdbirch/Library/Mobile%20Documents/iCloud~MobileSheets/Documents/Happy%20Trails//Happy Trails.chopro
file:///Users/robdbirch/Library/Mobile%20Documents/iCloud~MobileSheets/Documents/Happy Trails/Happy Trails.chopro
Notice the use of the SPACE character is not used consistently, sometimes it is the %20 encoding and sometimes not, it's just a SPACE.
So, it seems that during the sync process the iOS system maybe handling file name spaces one way and the MacOs system another???
This might be the source of the duplicates?

That could definitely be causing some problems. I'll most likely have to add code to try to deal with that, but it may get complicated due to how iOS handles URLs for files.

Mike are these issues going to be fixed in the next release?
What is the best guess on when that might be possible?
Thanks!

Yes, I added changes for it, so I believe it should be completely fixed. I'm trying my best to wrap up everything ASAP. I have all the new ChordPro changes completely finished on Android, and I'm just going through bug reports that accumulated over the months and making sure they are all addressed. Then I'll move the changes over to Windows and iOS, test things again to make sure there are no issues, and then release the update. So it shouldn't be too much longer.
