Trouble is that very often my iPad, although displayed as an option on IPad2, will refuse the connection.

Do you get an error message? What does it say?

the only way to enable the connection is to untick Broadcast Actions on iPad1 then retick it and Save. iPad2 will then connect.

Does the Refresh Broadcasting button from the Live Sharing Status window also fix that?

G'day Arlo.... It seems the only way to fix this issue is to manually disconnect at the end of a gig and re-enable at the start of the next one

I have 2 dedicated iPads for our duo... have been using them for BH at gigs for several years - no connection probs previously....

My iPad is set up to Broadcast Actions under Live Sharing, and before every gig I run Live Sharing/Follow Actions From... on iPad2 and select my iPad from the options screen. Trouble is that very often my iPad, although displayed as an option on IPad2, will refuse the connection. I've found the only way to enable the connection is to untick Broadcast Actions on iPad1 then retick it and Save. iPad2 will then connect.

iPad2 will occasionally disconnect and reconnect at random during the gig once or twice... no idea why this happens.

We use a dedicated Apple Wifi (AirPort Express).

Under Live Sharing I have Auto-Accept Connections enabled also Advanced..../Use New Peer Connections enabled

Would be a great time saver if this worked..

Here's a big one: you can now add, edit, import and export layouts from the website. This allows you to position items on a computer with a mouse rather than on a mobile device with a finger. It also allows you to edit layouts for any user or device in your account from your computer screen.

A couple downsides are that layouts on the website will use generic sample data for some of the items, and positioning relative to the bottom toolbar might be off since the bottom toolbar is a different size on different devices.

This is not intended to provide a set list view, for performance purposes, on the website. The mobile apps are still recommended for performance because they have greater multimedia capabilities and can run offline.

Checking to see if any new insights came from this investigation... I also use Second Song Selection to start up automation etc. for the next song, but have never been able to get Linking to work with it.

then 63 the bank 11 than preset 03 and i get only the preset number right.

I'm not sure what this means. Please clarify what problem you're having.

can you add musical clefs like the flat symbol on the online ver.

This sounds like an unrelated question, so please start a separate thread about it.

So my latest semi-decision, since I've bought a Yamaha THR30iiW, which has Bluetooth, for another job, is to use that at home.  Therefore I can charge the iPad and get audio out via BT.  I think.  It hasn't arrived yet.

Repertoire Help / Re: Exporting songs!

Last post by arlo - July 05, 2025, 09:57:56 AM

If I spend the time creating a chord pro files in BandHelper, I don't want them to be stuck in BandHelper and not be able to export or batch export, copy and paste songs from BandHelper ... not an good response.

This is confusing because I already described two ways to export songs in ChordPro format from BandHelper in this thread.

Have never used ChordPro so can't offer help there, but it seems that you only want to do one very specific thing and BandHelper is a much more holistic program that just that one use.  Seems BandHelper may not be the fit for your need and maybe you should stick with ChordPro as the Defacto Standard for that one use.  Just as it seems ChordPro won't support my 6 active projects with 20 users, Midi triggers, shared setlists, presets and Automation,  bluetooth capabilty, mp3 recordings, etc...   I won't be switching to ChordPro either, as it doesn't do what I need.  Having options is a good thing.
