Repertoire Help / Re: ChordPro Import Questions

Other than the labels within environment directives, what's missing that leads to the "very minimal" conclusion?

Thank you very much! I will check if that is feasible, as it will then also be longer above the lyrics and might mess up some. But it's a good workaround for now.

Thanks!

Repertoire Help / Re: ChordPro Import Questions

It looks like ChordPro support is very minimal, which is unfortunate since all my CP files were created to be 100% compliant with the format.  Importing them into BandHelper means I will have to edit every one to make them usable.  You can go ahead and support for the labels to your wishlist, but I will be letting my trial subscription expire.

In Plus and Pro accounts, you can attach the set list to an event, and in Basic accounts, you can  set a date directly in the set list details page. Then it will move down the list out of sight as that date recedes into the past.

I can put that on my wish list. Meanwhile, non-chord text after the chord name in the square brackets isn't a problem, so you could change [(Am)] to [Am (stop)] or [Am x] or [Am.].

Repertoire Help / "Active" Toggle for Set LIst

Last post by KeytarPaul - July 15, 2026, 05:14:24 PM

We are doing a lot of repeat shows in Retirement Homes.
I would like a way to Archive those set lists of 100 plus songs (18 or so in each) to keep track of how many times each song is done at each location.
If I set a Set List to not Active, then it wouldn't show when viewing the Set List Page with ACTIVE toggled.

Repertoire Help / Re: Tempo flash

Last post by arlo - July 15, 2026, 02:54:19 PM

It sounds like you're using the Background Flash option, and some of your songs use the built-in Lyrics field while other songs use attached documents. You won't see much of the background flash with attached documents because they have an opaque background.

Instead of using the Background Flash option, I would recommend adding the tempo button to your layout and sizing it as large as you need to see clearly. That will display consistently whether you're viewing lyrics or documents.

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?
