Repertoire Help / Re: Alternate pitch sound?
Last post by arlo - October 10, 2025, 10:28:03 AMAre you imagining the tone playing for as long as you hold the button down and then stopping when you release the button? Or just playing for a longer pre-set duration when you click the button?

Repertoire Help / Feature Request: Better option...
Last post by Insider0203 - October 10, 2025, 08:38:17 AMHi Arlo,
In the advanced settings, there is an option to "save songs added from search". I think this function would be better implemented if there was a general "save" function when viewing and performing a setlist.
I imagine it would work something like this...
- When a user adds a song via the search, an indicator in the top toolbar appears to show that the set has been edited
- When exiting the set via the back button, the user is asked to save the changes, save the changes as a new set, or discard changes.
-If the user quits the app, changes would be discarded
-In the advanced settings, users can be offered the options to "always save songs added from search", "never save songs added from search" or "ask to save each time". This would allow users to preserve the way the search function works now if they wish.
On a slightly related note, I think it would be great if reordering songs in the set could be done like quick adding songs.
When live sharing, the lead device can quick add a song from search and then this song will appear on all the following devices without needing an internet connection to sync. This is a fantastic feature but it seems strange to limit it to just adding songs. I have asked previously if reordering songs in the set could also be done over live sharing without an internet connection in this thread: http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,3624.msg15307.html#msg15307 In response, you said "
My assumption is that you don't want to mess with editing a set list during a performance. (Maybe during a set break.) Instead, you can simply select whatever song you want to play on the lead device, and that same song will be selected on the following devices." I personally think that reordering the set last minute is probably just as common as adding a song, maybe even more common. If reordering songs can be done over live sharing, that would alleviate a lot of friction by being able to share changes quickly and not having to go through the trouble of setting up a a hotspot, editing the set, syncing, have other devices sync, disconnecting from the hotspot, reconnecting to the live sharing wifi, etc...
Overall, these ideas would allow for bands to make a set, try it at a gig, make real time changes, and then save a new set accordingly. I think a lot of bands would benefit from this work flow.

Repertoire Help / Alternate pitch sound?
Last post by thoseguys - October 10, 2025, 08:04:20 AMWould it be possible to include alternate sounds for the pitch function in a future update? The piano tone is great, but I'd love it if a tone that could be sustained could be added. My a cappella group gets starting pitches in our in-ears, and currently our stage manager just uses a pitch pipe app to play the note in our ears for a few seconds to make sure nobody misses it. We'd love to be able to use BandHelper for this!
I think clarinet patches are pretty common for this, or something as simple as a generated tone would be great!

Repertoire Help / Re: Set names in layouts?
Last post by thoseguys - October 10, 2025, 07:57:57 AMThanks for the reply, Arlo! I sometimes will have them labelled as "earlier set" or "later set" but often just have them numbered. I also have gone back and forth with having encores separated by a pause or with a set break, I'm not sure which I prefer.
Quote from: Insider0203 on October 10, 2025, 07:33:29 AMOther than the next set name, I can imagine putting custom text like "break for 15 minutes" "Set start time @10:30", etc.On a related note, it would be great to be able to enter custom longer-form text into the set that could be displayed (rather than just a pause name) in cases where it would be helpful to have more text than will fit on one line without being truncated, but I also recognize that may require a considerable amount of dev time to implement for Arlo. Amazing if it shows up in a future update but totally understand it not being included at this time.

Repertoire Help / Re: Set names in layouts?
Last post by arlo - October 09, 2025, 10:29:59 AMWhen you reach a break in your set list, the document viewer shows the word "BREAK" because I think that's more natural than showing the name of the next set. But if you view the song list, you will see the set name as a heading on top of the next set.

Repertoire Help / Set names in layouts?
Last post by thoseguys - October 08, 2025, 02:54:49 PMHi Arlo,
I've noticed that in layouts using the "title" field, "BREAK" is inserted between sets. I generally like to title my sets using the custom set name feature. Would it be possible to have the title of the set shown? It can be helpful with keeping us on track when we have multiple sets, just as an indicator of what set is coming up next.
I'd also be very happy to hear any workarounds you know of that might work similarly.
Thanks!

Last post by arlo - October 07, 2025, 09:54:56 AM1. That's on my wish list and I'll add a vote for you.
2. You can do that from Settings > Appearance > Song List Fields.
