Hi all, brand new user of BandHelper. Trying to get some stuff set up for my band so I can encourage them to use this! Right now I'm trying to figure out the auto-scroll.
I have a song with a 3-minute duration, but the lyrics don't start until about 35 seconds in. I set the "auto-scroll pre-roll" setting to 35 seconds. But on the mobile app, when I tap the document to "start the song," it defaults to 30 seconds.
Am I setting something incorrectly? Is this setting not what controls how long before the lyrics start scrolling.
Also, I haven't gotten around to other bandmates yet, but if multiple people are using the app, and one person "starts the song," does it start for everyone?
Thanks!

Did you set the auto-scroll duration, too? If you want to override the automatic auto-scroll calculation, you'll have to set the auto-scroll duration. More info is here:
