How to reset page scrolling and recording playback at once?

Hello, I´m a novice user of Band Helper, yet in the demo stage. I like the app but need some advice to make it really usable to me. Tried searching the help and forum but perhaps I´ve been asking the wrong question.

An obvious need is to be able to start recording playback (backing track) at the same time as page scrolling. I managed this using Edit Buttons and Fields and adding buttons for start recording and start scrolling and attaching both to a tap with dual fingers. That works fine.

However, is there a way to stop and/or reset both page scrolling and recording playback to the beginning at the same time? Can it be done via another button or otherwise?

Thanks in advance :)

You can reset the recording and auto-scroll functions by selecting the same song again. That's easy if your song list is showing. If it's not, you can use the Reselect Current Song app control action, which you can assign to a gesture like Three-Fingered Tap, or to a foot switch or MIDI button.

BTW, you don't need to add the recording and document buttons to your layout to access those functions with the Two-Fingered Tap action that you set up. But it's probably nice to have them there to see whether those functions are running.

Thanks for your reply, I´ll try that Reselect Current Song app control tomorrow. Is there a button this control can be attached to? I don´t use footswitch as I´m a guitarist and I´ve already got lots of footswitches to take care of on my pedalboard (no MIDI - yet)  ;)

There is no button in the interface for the Reselect Current Song function; it is only available as an app control action. You said you're already using the Two-Fingered Tap gesture to start the recording and auto-scroll, but you could use a Three-Fingered Tap for this function.
