Repertoire Help / Set List > Share Songs > Downl...
Last post by valalves - February 12, 2026, 01:26:54 PMHi, whenever we go to share songs from a set list, and click the Download button to generate the PDF, is it possible to get the output in 2 columns? Basically, if the lyrics are too long, to automatically display in 2 columns, before inserting a new page. (Auto-Fit is not feasible due to small font size). The current output is too many pages with a lot of empty space on the right of the page. Since it is possible to present the header in 2 columns, I thought it would be possible for the lyrics fields as well.
*ps.: we use both bracketed chords and lyrics in the Lyrics fields.

Other Help / Re: The Button Icons...WHAT DO...
Last post by arlo - February 11, 2026, 01:33:16 PMSorry, there isn't a single list of every icon in the app. For buttons in toolbars, and setting names on the Settings pages, you can long-press for in-app help, but for the buttons in the main area of the layouts, long-press is reserved for other functions.
That said, you can generally just click a layout button to see what it does, or if it's always faded because you haven't set up the associated functionality, you can edit your layout and remove it.
"big circle with 5 little circles inside"
That sends MIDI data if set up for a song.
"pushpin"
That shows the contents of the Notes field if populated for a song.

Other Help / The Button Icons...WHAT DO THE...
Last post by skeeternash - February 11, 2026, 12:19:20 PMHello, I've searched everywhere for a definitive list of the buttons icons and what they do. I get the Lyrics, Documents, Tempo, Recording, Previous/Next song, and a couple of others; but for the life of me, I don't know what the 'big circle with 5 little circles inside' button does. Or the pushpin? A nice, definitive list (with the icons illustrated) would be very helpful. Thanks!

Announcements / What's new in BandHelper?
Last post by arlo - February 09, 2026, 02:52:02 PMIt's been almost two years since I announced the end of new features in Set List Maker and a shift of more resources toward BandHelper. For those of you who are still using Set List Maker, here are some things you've been missing by not switching:
If you want to see this for yourself, the BandHelper app now includes a demo account you can explore, with no registration needed. And I've improved the process for migrating your Set List Maker data into BandHelper; instructions are here:
https://www.bandhelper.com/tutorials/SLM_migration_2.html
- A built-in web search for lyrics, chords, song facts and video links that automatically copies and pastes into your song.
- Drawing annotations on the Lyrics field and embedding images into the lyrics.
- Defining a custom sequence of document markers, so you can jump up and down in a document with a single "next page" action.
- Adding markers to recordings to quickly jump to a location in a recording.
- MIDI/OSC presets that can send both MIDI and OSC data.
- Sending predefined messages through Live Sharing, like "5 minutes left" or "More lead vocal in monitor."
- Live layout guides for layouts and stage plots, to help size and align items.
- Editing layouts and stage plots on the website, for easier positioning than on a small screen.
- Editing automation tracks on the website, for easier editing and copying between songs.
- A reorganized App Control page, and a button to turn auto-advance on and off from the set list view.
- Separate app control actions for a foot switch click, double-click and hold.
- App control actions controlled by MIDI continuous controller messages (e.g., move a fader to scroll a document).
- Shortcuts to edit the current set list, document, recording or MIDI preset from the set list view.
- A chromatic tuner in the set list view.

Stage Plots Help / Re: Transferring plots between...
Last post by arlo - February 09, 2026, 09:57:23 AMAre you using BandHelper? If so, the stage plots will sync between your devices automatically.
If you're using the standalone Stage Plot Maker app, you can export from the stage plot view page and import from the Stage Plots list. You mentioned a ".stag" extension. The file extension should be .stageplot. If your device doesn't recognize that file extension, you can add .txt after it, like "My Stage Plot.stageplot.txt".

Stage Plots Help / Transferring plots between iPa...
Last post by Rhodney - February 09, 2026, 06:58:56 AMHello,
I have created plots on my older iPad Air and want to transfer them to my new iPad Pro m4, not as pdfs but as stage plot files I can edit. Is this possible? I saved the plots as .stag files and transferred them to my iPad, but I can't find any option to open them (when I search in the app the files are greyed out and can't be selected).

Last post by PeteyPeteSon - February 06, 2026, 01:35:52 PMYes I followed these instructions! https://www.bandhelper.com/tutorials/app_control.html
I can get the numbered song within the set list thing working.. but for the life of me haven't been able to get specific songs. Only things I can't find word for word on the ipad settings.
-"Tap Add an Action" I don't see this anywhere on the iPad, but I do see all of the actions (filtered by common/active/all. I can find the "song Number" section there, but not by hitting "Add an Action>Navigation>Song Number"
Any advice or other details I should include?
