Please update to the latest version 2026-06-29, and if that doesn't fix it, try turning on Settings > Advanced > App Control > Use Alternative Keyboard Handler.

Settings > Appearance > Chords Color is set to Yellow by default. You can remove that setting if you want to apply different colors to chords manually.

What app and macOS version do you have? Is Settings > Advanced > App Control > Use Alternative Keyboard Handler on?

Repertoire Help / Chord color

Last post by MattG - June 30, 2026, 12:34:05 AM

All of my songs have color-coded chords for verses/chorus/breaks etc. When I see them in the app, not all are displaying the color I've chosen—most are yellow-and some are a mix of up to three colors.

I use this to help maintain position within the song, so when it's not correct it's a pita.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Repertoire Help / PageFlip Butterfly and Mac des...

Last post by jholland1825 - June 29, 2026, 03:46:36 PM

I've been trying to get this to work this afternoon. The butterfly works fine on iOS with my phone and I assume it will work fine with my iPad, but using it on my Mac has been problematic. I've set it up according to the instructions and it doesn't seem to work even though the up and down arrow actions Reflect in The app control status window. If you click in the activity log, it will go line by line. The butterfly also works in other Mac apps. What I did notice is that in the app, if I go to a song and try to scroll using the up and down arrow keys, the physical ones on the Mac keyboard. It doesn't work. So my assumption is that if that doesn't work, the page turner never will because it just emulates a keyboard. Anyone know what's going on?

thx

No, ChordPro doesn't indicate the timing of the chords, and I don't think a plain dump of chord names without any timing info would be useful.

Repertoire Help / Re: ChordPro Import Questions

Last post by arlo - June 29, 2026, 10:21:20 AM

The batch import worked (mostly) but all the section labels are missing from the {start_of_verse}/{end_of_verse} and {start_of_chorus}/{start_of_chorus}.

To use ChordPro environment directives, you can go to Repertoire > Text Styles and add a text style for Verse, Chorus, Bridge and Comment and set the corresponding ChordPro Style for each. Then import your ChordPro files. If you already imported the files, you can delete the newly created songs using the date filter and the batch delete function on the Repertoire > Songs page of the website, then import them again.

Transposing from a sharps key to a flats key (ie from E to F) produces some wrong chords.

BandHelper adds sharps when transposing up and flats when transposing down. So to transpose from E to F and get flats, you can transpose up an extra half step to F#, then back down to F.
