Quotethen 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.

Quotecan 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.

QuoteIf 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.

I restarted the MacOS and it seems to be working.
This was the first time I started the app on my Mac.
The first time I logged it appeared to be syncing with my account.
It got hung doing that, I have pretty reliable internet at 1GB, other items on the internet itesm and speed test said the computer is working fine.
I had to kill the app and restart the app.
I restarted and I was logged in, but then the screen issue.
Restarted again and now the screen is better.

New to BandHelper, read,heard good things about BH on-line. I've been reviewing 3 similar solutions, seems like  BH is the better of the 3.

I am having Screen issues too on my external larger monitor that is hooked to my smaller Mac laptop. I have other these apps that run on iOS and MacOS that don't do this?






What happen to the image links? Why aren't they rendering? ugh!

Thanks for the quick response!

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. Chord Pro is the defacto standard and should be fully supported. At the same time I don't want to create them in another tool and then import them into BandHelper, just so I can have a backup copy in a standard format. This seems to be an attempt to keep customer from leaving BandHelper after investing their time in creating charts.

You can export to PDF, which is a standard and useful format. If you want ChordPro text, you could copy and paste from an exported PDF file as described above.

You can also export to a tab-delimited format with the Export button at the bottom of the Repertoire > Songs page, but for what the original poster wanted to do, I think the PDF option would be easier.

I am evaluating BandHelper I bought it for a month, we'll see how it goes. About a month back or so I initially did the free evaluation after watching a couple of YouTuber's talk about it. But, after about an hour using BandHelper I was so frustrated with it, I didn't go back. I proceeded to evaluate other solutions like OnSong which I did use for a short bit in 2015 and thought it was good back then but it seems to have taken a big turn for the worse. Then I tried MobileSheets and found 2 syncing bugs on MacOS and iOS and reported them within first hour. The nice thing was I got quick response. So, it seems this is the better of the lot? I do have a serious reservation of not being able to export Songs in a defacto format such as chord pro
