Repertoire Help / Tempo flash
Last post by ScottAntico - July 15, 2026, 11:52:25 AM
Hi guys
I use bandhelper only for lyrics as a guide (drummer) on most songs the tempo will flash over the entire lyric but I have added some new songs and it only flashes at the very bottom.. Have looked at setting between 2 different songs one that is full and one just bottom and can see no differences.. Any ideas how to make them all full screen flash?
Cheers

Yes, sure.

For example this is "Crazy" by Scary Pockets in a different key though. In Verse 2 the chords are single hits and not ringing chords, hence they are written in parenthesis.

When I click the transpose buttons, those are not recognized to be transposed.

I assume it's because some chords actually use parenthesis as well. But I thought maybe it's possible to treat [(XYZ)]  as a format of a chord, too then.

Let me know if you've got any further questions.

Many thanks!

Best,
Chris



# VERSE 1
[Am7]I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mi[Cmaj7]nd
There was something so special about that [Fmaj7]day
[Fmaj7]Even your emotions had an echo (echo echo)
In so much spa[Esus4]ce [E7]

[Am7]  And when you're out there, without care,
Yeah, I was out of t[Cmaj7]ouch
But it wasn't because I didn't know en[Fmaj7]ough (No...)
[Fmaj7]I just knew too much [Esus4] [E7]


# CHORUS 1
Maybe I'm[Am7] crazy? (Maybe I'm crazy, so crazy)
Maybe I'm[Cmaj7] crazy? (Maybe I'm crazy, so crazy)
Maybe I'm[Fmaj7] crazy? (Maybe I'm crazy, so crazy)
Possib[Esus4]ly (ooh) [E7]


# BRIDGE
[A] My heroes had the heart to live the life I wanna l[Fmaj7]ive
And all I r[Cmaj7]emember is thinking, I wanna be like[Esus4] that [E7]


# VERSE 2
[(Am7)] Ever since I was little,
[(Am7)] ever since I was little it looked like fun[Cmaj7]
It's no coincidence I've come [Fmaj7](there's no coincidences)
I'm gonna die when I'm [Esus4]done (but [E7]I ain't done yet)


# CHORUS 2
Maybe I'm[Am7] crazy
Maybe I'm cr[Cmaj7]azy
Maybe I'm c[Fmaj7]razy
Just like y[Esus4]ou  [E7]

Maybe I'm[Am7] crazy (aaaahh)
Maybe you're[Cmaj7] crazy
Maybe I'm c[Fmaj7]razy (wooh)
Just like y[Esus4]ou  [E7]

Can you show an example of a chart you're trying to work with that has that?

Another question regarding ChordPro. I wasn't sure whether I should open a separate thread, as it's closely related to the conversion topic.

I've also come across chords written in parentheses, for example [(Dm7)]. In many chord charts these are used as a special notation (for example optional or short "hit" chords).

At the moment, these chords are neither recognized by the [C] button nor when transposing the song. They simply remain unchanged.

Would it be possible to have chords in parentheses recognized by both functions as well?

If someone responds "maybe," they will continue seeing alert icons and receiving reminders until they accept or decline. "Maybe" is just a way for them to say they're working on it but haven't decided yet. If they are ignoring the subsequent reminders after they select Maybe, I would tell them that they still need to respond with a definite answer as soon as possible.

When I submit events to my group, some folks are providing "maybe" as a response.  This is creating some confusion for us when booking gigs.  Is there a way to disable "maybe" from the event response list to force my group to either say "yes" or "no"?

Quote from: ChrisMikolaj on July 09, 2026, 11:23:41 AMWhen you have [] around Verse, Chorus, etc. you can paste those into the lyrics.

Click on the [C] button once and it will remove all non-chord squared brackets. Click [C] again and it will move the chords into the lyrics with [] around them.

Also to get rid of that notification that you've added lyrics with squared brackets, that are no chords, you can go to Settings > Advanced and check the notification for that :)

Yeah that's fine, but you'd still have to go replace the [] with hashtag to get proper section headers. And that C button work flow is a little awkward IMO.

I thought square brackets around headings was just an Ultimate Guitar thing. I'll add to my wish list a function for converting those to #headings.

Just to add to this: I often have a similar when trying to import just lyrics.

A lot of sites, genius.com being popular example, put square brackets around section headers. [Verse 1], [Chorus] etc. When pasting into Bandhelper, I constantly get the popup warning saying that square brackets are for chords. I then manually go into the text and replace the brackets with #'s to get proper section headers in the app.

It'd be nice if Bandhelper had a better way of handling this. Maybe when pasting any text, you're just asked what square brackets are for (chords or section headers) and then the app pastes the text appropriately based on what the user says?
