Repertoire Help / Re: ABC Notation
Last post by arlo - March 23, 2026, 10:39:11 AMI can put this on my wish list.
Currently, you can create music notation in a music notation app, then export as a PDF to attach to a song as a full page document, or as a small JPG to insert inline into the lyrics.

Repertoire Help / ABC Notation
Last post by jeebustrain - March 21, 2026, 06:11:50 PMI recently started using Joplin as a shared personal note taking application and saw that it supports something called ABC Notation. It's basically a markup language that lets you insert notation inline with text. I've started using it to make rehearsal song notes and it comes in handy to do little quick rhythmic or melodic figures and stuff without having to create an entire sheet of notation and export as PDF. I'm not sure how complicated it would be to add the functionality to Bandhelper, but if it was there, I would definitely use it (and I imagine others would as well).

Repertoire Help / Parameters for fields
Last post by damianjosephadams@gmail.c - March 19, 2026, 09:12:29 AMIs it possible to substiute parameter names for fields
for example
I would like to setup an osc message where the Address pattern is fixed IE /Song
and the Argument Type could be set to a Parameter or parameter list
EG. {Title}. << which would extract the song title and pass it as part of the osc string.
This could be set to active in every song and only need be setup once
I'm sure theres loads of other instances where using a parameter would be really useful.
If not could I request it for a later version.

Other Help / Re: Set List Maker question
Last post by arlo - March 17, 2026, 08:15:19 PMYou can still use Set List Maker, but your iPad 2 is no longer supported and you won't be able to download current app versions. And I'm no longer adding new features to Set List Maker; more info on that is here:

Other Help / Set List Maker question
Last post by Acoustaholic - March 17, 2026, 05:31:36 PMHi everyone, I'm new here. I had set list maker years ago and I finally got my 2012 iPad 2 working. I'm getting old so bear with me. When I open the app it says this is being phased out, what must I do to continue using it ?
Let me know if I am not doing things properly.

Last post by arlo - March 17, 2026, 11:04:12 AMPlease see "HOW CAN I BACK UP ALL THE DATA I'VE ENTERED INTO BANDHELPER?" in the FAQ:
https://www.bandhelper.com/support/FAQ.html#back_up_data
Automation tracks are not saved in separate files; they would be included in the project export.

Repertoire Help / Automation Question (Backup)
Last post by Mully - March 17, 2026, 09:25:53 AMGood Afternoon. I have a question regarding Automation Files. I have about 200 files with automation. I NEED to do a complete backup of all my files. That means, mp3 backing tracks, midi lists, and guitar automation, Lyrics etc. I can see how I can back up the midi files and the mp3 files but what about the lyrics, automations etc? Thanks in advance

Last post by arlo - March 16, 2026, 11:27:57 PMNo, the website doesn't have a dark mode.
The yellow used on the website is darker than the yellow used in the app in the dark color theme, but if that's still not enough contrast, you could set Settings > Appearance > Chords Color to another color, like orange.

Repertoire Help / Viewing lyrics with dark backg...
Last post by dcraftfrombr - March 16, 2026, 09:13:40 PMWhen using my iPad, I have the screen set for a dark (black) background with white lettering. The chords show as yellow. Very easy to read. When I view the document on my computer with the Bandhelper web page the background is white and the chords in yellow are very hard to see. Is there a way to make the website view documents like my iPad?
