Last post by arlo - June 02, 2026, 08:52:20 AM
For the iCal feed, all the display is handled by the calendar app that is reading the feed. As far as I know, there is no way to tell the calendar app how to format the content.

Are you actually asking about the website widget or JSON feed?

Schedule Help / Formatted Text in iCal Feed
Last post by Blainew - June 02, 2026, 06:00:48 AM
I love this feature that adds my custom fields to my iCal events.  However, my calendar events are currently plain text.  They can get a little hard to read.  Is it possible to add some basic formatting to the calendar events?  E.G. Bolding the field names for readability?

The new Live Sharing code was turned on by default in the latest app version, which means everyone in your band needs to either update to the latest version, or turn it on manually, which you did. I emailed a notice about this last week to everyone who has System Emails turned on in their user notification settings.

Hi Arlo,

I had a strange bug happen at a gig lost night. I started a live sharing session on my iPad as usual and one member was getting an error message "user is is now longer accepting live sharing and has refused this connection" or something like that.

Nothing has changed on his iPad and we literally had a gig two weeks ago no issue. The only thing I know that might have changed is that I just updated to the most recent version. I don't know what version the other person is but he's probably a couple of versions behind as he doesn't use his iPad much.


Luckily, I was able to solve the issue by going into the advanced settings on his iPad and turning on "use new peer networking". That immediately fixed it.


I was wondering if you could give any insight to this and also just to put it on your radar. It might be worth it make this toggle on by default in the next version

Allowing users with Added Data permission to copy items they didn't add is on my wish list and I'll add a vote for you.

Another approach that's also on my wish list is to make the "added user" field editable, so you could copy an item and then set that to the Added Data user you want to transfer the item to.

Meanwhile, Added Data users can create a new layout based on the standard layout templates, then customize that.

Hi Arlo, it's been a while since I've posted.

I think the app would benefit from a simple "make a copy for this user" function. For example, I made a layout that works really well for my band but individual users may want to make minor tweaks for their own purposes. However, users with "edit added data" accounts can't do so. Instead, I have to manually send them the layout file so they can import back in.

If there was just a "copy to my account" button to let the user make their own copy that they can edit, that would be a lot more efficient.

This can also work for documents or midi presets as well.

If you send program number 5 with the Song Number action, that will select the song that has program number 5 assigned to it, regardless of its position in the set list. If you send program number 5 with the Song Number In Set List" action, that will select the fifth song in the set list, regardless of its program number assignment.

If you need further help, please use a help ticket for specific troubleshooting or a new thread for general questions, so this thread doesn't become confusing with multiple topics.

"I am using the toggle function"

Do you mean you are sending the same MIDI message to the mixer to toggle the mute on or off, or do you mean you are using paired presets in BandHelper to alternate between two different MIDI messages for on and off? I think the latter would be more likely and that would work with the approach I described above.

"Live Sharing does not include button presses, right?"

Right, there isn't a Live Sharing function to change the highlighted state of a button.

Unfortunately I am using the toggle function and as a consequence it is too easy for everything to get out of sync. 

But I take it from your response that Live Sharing does not include button presses, right?

Since we have a chatty singer, I am implementing an action to mute all effects when I make a song selection.  So two things happen when I make a song selection - an automation track is triggered and it sends a song-specific MIDI preset to the mixer, and also on song selection the effects are muted.  Chatty singer can tell a joke or whatever and I just have to remember to un-mute the effects before we start playing the song.  This is probably better than giving the singer a pedal which she will forget to use.  So effects errors are on me and me alone.

Thanks! Excuse me, but I just realised I did change the settings you mentioned in the help page link, but I did it on the other device. So now I will try again. One question, though: What is the difference between "Song Number" and "Song Number in the Set List"?
