Last post by arlo - November 02, 2026, 10:01:06 AMYou're talking about testing this "on the lyric page" -- do you mean in the set list view?
To start auto-scroll or other functions automatically when selecting songs, please see the App Control tutorial:

Repertoire Help / Re: sending tracks and click w...
Last post by RickP - November 02, 2026, 09:26:58 AMThis may or may not be an answer, depending on the need for true stereo or if you just need to send L/R to a IEM or similar.
In a duo w/tracks gig I do, we also needed a click to time intros and some song break sections. Obviously, you don't want the click in the mains. The problem was that an iPad only puts out a left/right signal, and it does it all the time.
My solution was to mix the sources going to be played in the iPad with the click left and all the music sources right. Each runs to their own input channel in the mixer. The left (click) signal is routed to the monitor sends, and muted in the mains. The right (audio) signal is routed to both the monitors and mains to be mixed with other audio inputs.
So, in IEMS, we are really getting a "Dual Mono" mix and not true stereo but it works fine. As mentioned, this is only a solution if mono is ok. If you need a true stereo output end-to-end, it will take a few more devices to accommodate that need.

Repertoire Help / Help With Auto-Scrolling Lyric...
Last post by RickP - November 02, 2026, 09:05:45 AMThe auto-scroll function (hereafter A-S to make this more readable) works in its basic programming when I click the A-S icon in the dropdown menu on a lyrics page. I have songs where the default timing doesn't work, and need to adjust the pre-roll and ending times. I would also like the A-S to work without having to click the A-S icon in every lyric sheet throughout the night... in other words, I'd like it to A-S automatically if there is a start/stop point directing it to do so in the song data page. Note that all songs have a Duration set on the Song Data page already. I've read posts here, and the automation information and links on the BH site, but I haven't been successful in getting anything but the default method to work. I have tried the following methods without success:
Setting an "Auto-Scroll Pre-Roll" and "Auto-Scroll Duration" on the song data page: I have set these numbers in the Song Data page, saved, and then synced the app on my iPads. It has no effect at all, though clicking the scroll icon on the lyric page will make the lyrics scroll at the default settings every time.
Automation Track: Just for fun, I set the scroll times into an automation track, without success. I assume something must be reading that track for it to do something, but I thought it was worth a try.
There are two possibilities: I am doing it wrong, or it can't be done; I'm pretty sure it's the first of those options. I'm looking for insights either way, and open to try anything you guys think will work.
Basic info: Working on all IOS or OSx devices, on most recent firmware they will use (some are new, some older), but the issues are consistent on all devices. Thank you in advance.

Repertoire Help / sending tracks and click with ...
Last post by cheny - November 01, 2026, 12:18:44 PMI run Band Helper on an ipad.
It has a set list and changes sounds on my new modx m7.
I want to run backing track through the ipad and click.
THE PROBLEM:
modx has only main L+R outputs.
how can i run a click and keep a stere signal?
(been thinking of a simple drum machine but most of the m don't have midi in with program change or don't have a song/setlist memory)
Please share your thoughts with me.

Last post by arlo - October 29, 2026, 10:05:57 AMUPDATE
This month I changed SSL providers, so if you manually installed the certificate chain above, you will now need to manually install the certificate chain for the new provider in the same way. I think you can just click the following attachment on your mobile device, or email it to that device and click it the attachment, then follow the prompts to install the profile.
More info is here:

Schedule Help / Re: Early Gig Request Record
Last post by arlo - October 26, 2026, 10:48:03 AMNo, you can't add an event without a date. You could just pick an upcoming date like Jan. 1 and write something like "actual date TBD" in the Notes field.
Another option is not to add an event at all, but add the contact and then add an action for the contact with a name like "follow up on dates." You can set the action's date a week or two into the future or however long you expect to spend discussing the event. Then that action will appear in the menu shortcuts as a reminder, or you can set it to send you a reminder.

Schedule Help / Early Gig Request Record
Last post by SoundOfTheCrowd - October 26, 2026, 09:40:07 AMHi Arlo
I have a number of gig requests at the moment that aren't at the stage where dates are being discussed, but that I'd still like to be able to track through BH.
Is there a way of using the schedule function to create a gig opportunity but without a date? That could then hopefully turn into an actual scheduled gig when the negotiations have concluded.
Thanks very much
Mick.

Schedule Help / Re: Exporting Available Dates
Last post by arlo - October 21, 2026, 10:22:30 AMHow many available dates are you looking at sending? I typically wouldn't send more than about a half dozen dates at a time in this situation. I can't think of a technical solution that would be faster than just looking at the calendar and writing the dates I want to share into an email message to the venue.
(In my experience, it's almost always the venue sending me their available dates, not me sending them my available dates.)
