What's new in BandHelper?

[arlo]

It's been almost two years since I announced the end of new features in Set List Maker and a shift of more resources toward BandHelper. For those of you who are still using Set List Maker, here are some things you've been missing by not switching:

• A built-in web search for lyrics, chords, song facts and video links that automatically copies and pastes into your song.
• Drawing annotations on the Lyrics field and embedding images into the lyrics.
• Defining a custom sequence of document markers, so you can jump up and down in a document with a single "next page" action.
• Adding markers to recordings to quickly jump to a location in a recording.
• MIDI/OSC presets that can send both MIDI and OSC data.
• Sending predefined messages through Live Sharing, like "5 minutes left" or "More lead vocal in monitor."
• Live layout guides for layouts and stage plots, to help size and align items.
• Editing layouts and stage plots on the website, for easier positioning than on a small screen.
• Editing automation tracks on the website, for easier editing and copying between songs.
• A reorganized App Control page, and a button to turn auto-advance on and off from the set list view.
• Separate app control actions for a foot switch click, double-click and hold.
• App control actions controlled by MIDI continuous controller messages (e.g., move a fader to scroll a document).
• Shortcuts to edit the current set list, document, recording or MIDI preset from the set list view.
• A chromatic tuner in the set list view.

If you want to see this for yourself, the BandHelper app now includes a demo account you can explore, with no registration needed. And I've improved the process for migrating your Set List Maker data into BandHelper; instructions are here:
