Repertoire Help / Re: Setlist: Song changes even...

Last post by arlo - Today at 05:01:15 PM

It has to work both when I use it for lyrics scrolling only and for lyrics scrolling with backing tracks.

Do you mean you still want it to auto-advance for songs that don't have a backing track, or you don't want it to auto-advance for songs that don't have a backing track?

Thank you for the answer - if it's working like that I can't use the 'auto-change to next song' feature as I never know how much time I will be spending talking between songs. It has to work both when I use it for lyrics scrolling only and for lyrics scrolling with backing tracks.

I will just have to turn the feature off and assign one foot switch to change to next song and the other to start scroll and playback.

Lots of small things to fix when changing software, I did not expect that adding backing tracks to my lyrics app would bring me to test so many different apps before ending up with BandHelper! I have used Showplay on a windows laptop for decades for playing electric party gigs with backing tracks and Midi control of lights and harmonizer but for smaller solo acoustic gigs I want the simple tablet solution.

The Follow buttons on the Settings > Live Sharing page are broken and will be fixed in the next update in two days. However, you can also click the Live Sharing button in the top toolbar and click the Follow buttons from there. Those still work and that workflow requires fewer clicks.

Repertoire Help / Display Screen From Problem

Last post by healykieran - Today at 05:58:08 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm brand new to the forum but have been working in bandhelper on a basic account for about 5 years.

I'm running bandhelper on my iPad in the band and our drummer also has an iPad running bandhelper and we set his iPad to display the screen from my iPad. However since the last update (July 12th I think) this isn't working  When I go into settings and click live sharing it brings me into the live sharing menu and then when I click display screen from...nothing happens

I've since tried to display the screen from 2 other different iPads and the exact same thing is happening, which is absolutely nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks everyone,

Kieran.

MIDI Help / SLM vs BadHelper?

Last post by omygind - July 25, 2024, 11:06:35 PM

Considering SLM over Bandhelper due to the subscription 
However I do need the following features that I'm not sure whether SLM does provide?

- controlling my keyboard via midi for each song
- sharing screen with other band members (the action control would be preferable)

Does SLM provide these functions? In similar or different way?

Thanks in advance.

The Select Next Song On Song Completion function is triggered by the end of a recording, video, or automation track, or by the song duration if none of those is playing.

If you want the songs to not auto-advance in some situations, like while practicing or editing, you can duplicate your layout and turn off the Select Next Song On Song Completion setting in the new layout. Then name the original layout "[layout name] Auto-Play." Or if you want to make other changes between the two layouts, you could name one "Performance" and the other "Practice" or whatever makes sense for your situation.

Repertoire Help / Setlist: Song changes even whe...

Last post by JimR - July 25, 2024, 02:05:09 AM

New Android Tablet user here getting ready to replace Songbook with BandHelper from my next gig in a couple of weeks. The main reason for change is to start using backing tracks and Songbook was not really ready for that and missed a lot of important features for live gigs with tracks.

I noticed that while I am editing songs on the PC and the tablet is sitting idle while showing the setlist, the songs are changing to next song automatically!

I have it set to fetch the next song automatically but I thought that was only when playing the song?

how do you "check" off a song?
