Schedule Help / Re: Add existing setlist to an...
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - Today at 01:11:48 PMOkay, that makes absolute sense now you say it. Thanks, I will adapt it accordingly and that will work out like that for sure!
I guess the "trouble" mostly came from having everything organized in setlists before compared to switching to events now. So in the future it will be more streamlined and straight forward. Thanks!

Schedule Help / Re: Add existing setlist to an...
Last post by arlo - Today at 01:05:35 PM1. Yes, but I wouldn't have thought to link a set list to a rehearsal event. Typically you would open the set list for the next gig, or keep a separate set list or smart list for rehearsal songs. But you could do this is you want. You would have to do it from the set list edit page rather than the event edit page.
2. Yes, but you would have to do it from the set list edit page rather than the event edit page. The reasons for organizing it that way are 1) it is more common to use the same set list for multiple events than to use multiple set lists for one event, and 2) it is more common to create the event first (when you book the gig) and create the set list later.
3. I think you're referring here to a set list linked to multiple events. The set list is not multiplied or duplicated; it simply appears in the list once for each event, so you can find it based on any of the event dates.

Contacts Help / Re: Contacts for all projects
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - Today at 12:30:46 PMYes, I saw that. But if the "contact" of a setlist before the Plus-module was different, as the contact names in the plus module get the name of the setlist as a contact name, those were no duplicates after all.
So I was looking for a central place to maintain the contacts rather than flipping between the projects.
But as of now I'm happy with the way I did it Many thanks for the hint though, much appreciated!

Schedule Help / Add existing setlist to an eve...
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - Today at 12:25:00 PMHi arlo
I'm currently discovering the schedule module and I'm pretty happy with our setup now. Took some time, but it's great! Thanks already for that, as it will drastically increase our productivity in event planning within our band(s).
I've just created a new event, which is a rehearsal. During that rehearsal we will work on a setlist, that is already existing. However, on the event I can only chose to create a new setlist rather than add an existing one. So I went to the setlist, which is already linked to the gig we will play that setlist on. And there I could add the rehearsal as a new event.
The result of that is, that the setlist itself got multiplied in the setlist menu and both of this same setlist is of course linked to another event.
So my questions would be:
1. Is it possible add multiple setlists to an event? I guess the main use case would be rehearsals, during which we work on multiple projects in the same session.
2. Is it possible to chose an existing setlist to add to the event on the event page itself rather than creating a new setlist?
3. As the setlist is now "multiplied" (although changes to one setlist are reflected on the "duplicate" as well), I'm not sure if it might increase the overview if the setlist is just shown once and the column for the event would state "multiple events" or something like that?
I guess my last point is coming from not being used to that view, yet as we have only used the setlists wihtout events for years now. So maybe that is already the best way going forward and I just need to be pointed into the direction or use case for that.
So many thanks in advance already - I'm grateful for all tips, tricks and hints to maximize efficiency

Contacts Help / Re: Contacts for all projects
Last post by arlo - Today at 12:24:20 PMAn easier way to find duplicates across projects is to click the Find Duplicates button at the bottom of the left sidebar on the Contacts list (website only).

Contacts Help / Re: Contacts for all projects
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - Today at 11:37:19 AMThe current scenario is that I've just added the contacts and events module and currently I am cleansing the data as there are several duplicate contacts now due to the way we've set up setlists without the contacts module before.
And as I'm the main admin for all the projects and currently categorizing all contacts and events, I liked the option to see ALL events for all the projects in one view, but couldn't do so for the contacts.
However, I just found a way to do what I wanted. As I'm having a "Master project" where only I have access to and I'm assigning all songs, etc. usually to the project the elements are used with AND the master project, I will do the same with the contacts. Then I can view all of the contacts rather easily.

Other Help / Re: Feature Request: Share Set...
Last post by arlo - Today at 11:18:52 AMA set list contains links to songs, breaks and pauses, and a song contains links to documents, recordings, tags and custom fields. It wouldn't be practical to share just a set list without sharing all the other connected data.

Contacts Help / Contacts for all projects
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - Today at 10:35:45 AMHey arlo
Events are currently possible to be shown for all projects, although I can only edit the ones of the current project, that I'm operating in.
Is it possible to show ALL contacts for all projects similar to the events?
Many thanks,
ChrisMikolaj

Other Help / Feature Request: Share Setlist...
Last post by Insider0203 - Today at 07:38:37 AMCurrently, there is no way to share a setlist (not an exported PDF or HTML file) with another setlist maker user other than by exporting the entire database and sending a sqlite file.
I know that one of the selling points of Bandhelper is that it offers cloud database syncing and is meant to be an upgrade path from Setlist maker. However, sharing setlists manually as opposed to the whole database seems like that should be a basic feature of the app. It still differentiates itself from Bandhelper in that it's still a manual process and not cloud based.
