Lyric Pad does not recognise folders in SD Card

Running LyricPad on a Samsung Tab A with Android OS version 7.0

Great patch. I will give it a try. I have noticed other apps ask and check for read/write permission to storage during install.

Under current install, when I checked LyricPad permissions, the only option was to remove access permission. So my guess is LyricPad didn't get read/write access in Android OS 7.0 at install/setup.

Moved all data folders to SDCard
Deleted all folders from internal memory
Restarted tablet
Updated to version 2.46 from Google Play.
Restarted tablet

Here is a copy of the startup log. LyricPad recreates lyric, setlists, and backing folders in internal memory.

Opened LyricPad
Selected open lyric
LyricPad displays message: No lyric files could be found in your specified folder /sdcard/lyricpad/lyrics/ Please add lyric files to this folder or specify an alternate path in preferences.

The sdcard lyrics folder has many lyric txt files. Lyricpad doesn't seem to read the folder.

Can you tell why LyricPad continues to write to internal memory only and not read sdcard memory? It has full permissions.
Should I uninstall LyricPad, shut down, and reinstall?

Completely uninstalled LyricPad
Deleted all internal storage data folders
Installed clean new app from Google Play gave LyricPad storage access during install question pop up
LyricPad again created data folders in internal storage
Changed storage preference to SDcard
Closed Lyricpad
Opened LyricPad
Lyricpad displayed messages: Specified folders do not exist
Folder do exist in SDcard storage.

Why doesn't LyricPad recognise the SDcard folders after specifying in preferences?

Now a frustrated user!
