Announcements / Re: 2025 One-Question Survey
Last post by arlo - March 30, 2025, 10:03:03 AM
I released more usability updates today, for the website:

  • The left sidebar with filters on list pages and Save/Cancel buttons on edit pages now uses sticky scrolling, so those items don't scroll out of view when scrolling the main content.
  • The Save/Cancel buttons in popup windows are now in a top toolbar, like in the mobile apps.
  • Some tutorials have a "TL;DR" box at the top, summarizing the info in one or two sentences.

Also, I recorded this video showing some of the commonly requested features that already exist:

Repertoire Help / Re: View all Projects at once?

Arlo, the new "All Projects" checkbox works great, thank you so much!  Who knows how long it would've taken me to notice that was added.  The export behaves just as I'd hope, including any custom fields that are present in the currently selected project.  My only requested improvement would be for the Export to have a "Projects" field that includes the project(s) that song is enabled in.  I know that gets kinda ugly with songs in multiple projects since you'll need a non-comma delimiter, but it would be nice.

Amazing work as always.

When you said "footnote line" I thought you meant the literal line at the bottom of the screen. That's controlled by iOS and as far as I know it will always be opposite to the app background color. Now that you mention blue I see you were referring to the text fields in the bottom toolbar. That's controlled by BandHelper and they are always that color in either color theme, but I can add a wish list item to optionally override text colors in the light color theme to provide more contrast.

iOS has a "high contrast mode" in the Accessibility settings, but it probably overrides more than you would want. Sometimes people ask why their app colors aren't appearing and it's because they turned that setting on.

Thank you so much Arlo, your input is highly appreciated.

It would be nice to allow the colour change of the bottom line. Especially in the sunshine the blue colour isn't easy readable - THANKN YOU!

Since this original post, the Songs page on the website gained a Find Duplicates button, which shows songs that are repeated (same title) in multiple projects and lets you choose one to keep. It does not merge the data from multiple songs together, but it does update any set lists that contain any of the songs to use the one copy of the song that you keep.

More recently (last week), the Songs page on the website also gained an Include All Projects filter, which shows songs from all projects. I think mynameisdanno could use that along with the Export button at the bottom of that page to search custom fields across all projects.

Yes, it was intentional. The song edit page is more commonly used and is longer and people sometimes complain about too many options there. Nobody has ever complained that there are too many options on the MIDI preset edit page.

I do. I didn't realize that, especially since the "add to song" button for midi presets appears. Is that intentional? I feel like that button should appear in both views

Yes, the light background will work better in sunlight, and in my experience, cleaning all the fingerprints off your screen helps a lot, too!

I don't think the choice of light or dark color theme will affect the battery life, but the screen brightness will.

You cannot change the color of the home indicator at the bottom of the screen.

Do you have the new Settings > General > Interface Level set to Simplified? That would hide the Add To Set List button on the song edit page.
