Adding new songs in other setlist apps is streamlined. Other apps better integrate looking for an appropriate version on the web, and, once a version is found that looks good, you can just click a button to import it. No copy-pasting is necessary. This is to me the biggest drawback of BandHelper. AFAICT the only way to import a song is to copy and paste from some search result (not easy to do especially on a tablet or phone). And in my case at least the chord-over-lyrics style doesn't get converted to ChordPro when using the [C] ChordPro Tools button. Further, the ChordPro button should also convert curly braces to "starting with #" ({abc} --> #abc), since a leading # is (apparently) the only way to make a heading in BandHelper.
What is an example of an app that has a good import function from the web?
A function like this would rely on the content you want being available from a third-party website, which probably prohibits scraping its content, and then some amount of reformatting, which would vary from website to website. So given the lack of a single, standardized and legal source of content, I have preferred to leave content creation up to the user.
That will be easier through BandHelper's web interface on a computer.
Also, another way to make headings is to use the text formatting tools on the Lyrics field.
I am currently using SongbookPro and I can click to search online, type in the song name and a list of songs and versions is displayed. I select one and click to save and it immediately shows up in my song list. If it is the case that SongbookPro is not totally above board in this practice I will accept that and move on with copy and paste but if it something that can be implemented without incurring additional costs that would be great.
This functionality was added since this post:
