From the Designer - Dr. David Parker - regarding CMP4
Three ministries in the field and my own church ministry beta tested the new version on the PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
This release will not only be the most extensive update over previous versions, but it will also be the most stable because of all of the testing.
The new features are far too many to list, but some of the most important include:
Every copy of the software is the same - everyone gets index listings for 24 hymnals and four chorus books with the ability to add your own hymnal(s) and/or chorus book(s). You can run two hymnals simultaneously in your index listings and show reports for all listings from both hymnals.
Cross-platform compatibility - copy one file from PC laptop to Mac desktop to iPad, iPhone, iPod and the latest version is always ready for you to use at home, office or on the road.
Immediate notification of the "last time used" for scheduling personnel, hymns and choir, orchestra and band library items.
Extensive "short-cuts" that save a tremendous amount of time creating service orders
New options and templates for exporting service orders and other information to merge files for bulletins and Word documents.
New font - Times New Roman - for the whole program gives a cleaner look across all platforms.
iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch compatibility with an app you purchase from the Apple app store - FileMaker Go. You can easily create or update service orders on any of these devices and email the new service order to the church secretary or yourself. Remotely open your CMP4 on your ministry server if your server is running the FileMaker Server software- otherwise you easily copy one file back and forth to and from your other platforms.
Extensive personnel management improvements include:
New "Next Week's Schedule" report to send as a reminder to your personnel
Choral, orchestra and band sign-in sheets easily generated for upcoming rehearsals by date
Special music and offertory sign-up sheets to list titles and staging needs
Incredible seating charts created for your whole choir, orchestra or band in just a few clicks

New tables for keeping track of equipment, projections, etc.
Compatibility for Microsoft Office 2011 links to Outlook for both PC and Mac.
And MUCH more!
