Repertoire Help / Re: exlporting recordings

I can put a set list filter for the export functions on my wish list. Meanwhile, you can auto-play the recordings in a set list from the app using these instructions:

Repertoire Help / Re: {eop} and {sop}

Those look like ChordPro directives, but they're not part of the official spec:

Anyway, BandHelper doesn't have a function for stripping those out. In my experience, you always have to do some kind of cleanup or correction when copying and pasting from the Internet.

Repertoire Help / {eop} and {sop}

Last post by dcraftfrombr - September 26, 2026, 11:46:28 PM

When I copy and paste chord and lyrics from the internet, sometimes the format includes such lines as {sop} and {eop} and {inline}. What are these markers for and is there an easy way to strip them out?

A couple of reasons. one is that if I have a rehearsal setlist coming up, I would like to copy all of the recordings onto a USB flash drive so that I can listen to the songs in my car. another is that I have a few bandmates that do not use Bandhelper but I would like to give them the songs on a USB drive. I know I have the original recordings on my computer but they are not in one place, so if I could dump them to a new folder that would be helpful.

You don't need to link the songs, unless you're using the Only Between Linked Songs option under the Auto-Advance Through Songs setting.

You do need to add the app control action Start Recording triggered by Song Selection or Song Auto-Selection. See step 2 in these instructions:

Repertoire Help / Auto Advance Not Working For M...

Last post by plbgbiz - September 26, 2026, 08:14:03 AM

Testing the auto-advance function: 
1. Created Songs
2. Imported a recordings
3. Attached recordings to their corresponding songs
4. Created setlist using three of these songs
5. Placed a link between each of the three songs
6. Turned on Auto-Advance in app control
7. Open the setlist
8. Tap play on the first song's recording at the bottom of the page
9. Song plays, but nothing advances to the next song

What did I do wrong?

Thank you.

Yes  Orange 4 sides as an option would be perfect for my use case.
I do like the Orange better than the Blue

FYI: http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,2638.0.html

I'll add to my wish list to make this a selectable option.

For the Display iPad I have a layout that doesn't display songs in color - was confusing people for some reason (I think drawing their eye to the color instead of the selected song). Some other method like selected song in a little larger/bolder text would work as well.

Anything to make the selected song stand out a bit would be excellent.

Good point, I hardly use the Songs page, and hadn't realised how different it was to a setlist/smartlist view. Pretty sure with a bit of a filter that can get me what I want.
Thanks Arlo.
