"The only issue is the screen on the phone won't rotate to Landscape."

Do you have the screen lock on in the Android device controls panel?

SO CLOSE!
It's working great from the iPad -> Android over the phone's wifi.
The only issue is the screen on the phone won't rotate to Landscape.
It's going to be connected to a Projector that's too far from the iPad to connect too.

You'll need to send him the documents as well, so he can put those into the Set List Maker folder on his iPad.

Or if you switch to BandHelper, that will sync the database and documents automatically between devices.

Other Help / sharing shows with documents
Last post by Mark Swanson - May 22, 2026, 10:10:48 AM
Hello, my first post here, and I am quite new to Setlistmaker.
I am running an Android tablet, my bandmate has an iPad. I have a show completed and I want to share it with him, including the attached documents. I think I have shared everything I can with him, my database, and the set list and the songs. But none of the songs are showing up with the included PDF files I placed in the "add Documents" fields of the songs, so he isn't seeing my charts.
How can I share my show with him, so he gets all the setlist and all the included charts?

That doesn't sound like the same problem. Did you follow the instructions under "TO SELECT SPECIFIC SONGS WITH A MIDI DEVICE" on this page?

Hello, 8 years later, I have the same problem.

I'm using the Midi Hub app on an Android tablet. Midi is sent through WiFi to the Midi Hub, then passed on to the Band Helper (connection is in the Midi Hub App). On the Midi Hub, I can see program changes displayed correctly for incoming and outgoing messages, which means it is coming to the Band Helper in the right format (I'm using virtual hub port 1 connection in the Midi Hub and Band Helper). The band helper is displaying messages in the "C1, 15" format, and the song is not being selected.

No, you cannot change the user that added an item. But I'm not sure you have the right idea for bandmates to "add their own gig contacts / events to own the flow for each gig themselves." There should only be one event added for each gig; you wouldn't want every bandmate adding a separate event for the same gig.

Account Help / Reassigning data owners for 'E...
Last post by Blainew - May 21, 2026, 06:30:39 AM
I'm setting up a new account primarily for gig management. I want to add my band-mates as regular users with the 'Added Data' only permission setting.  The idea is that they will add their own gig contacts / events to own the flow for each gig themselves, but without the ability to overwrite each other's data.  The "Added Data" permission looks perfect for this.  However, I want the ability to prepopulate some contacts/events for them, particularly while we get started.  But that locks them out of editing those entries without "Add Data" access.

Is there a way to reassign the 'owner' for contacts and events so that I can create a stub entry and then "assign" it to them to take over?

just switched this option on, and it seems that the connection becomes more stable. There was just one interruption at the last rehearsal session. We'll check it on the next gig.

Are you using Settings > Advanced > Other > Use New Peer Connections on all the devices?

Also, instead of starting with an empty set list, you could view the All Songs list on all the devices, then select songs on the lead device and they will be selected on the following devices. Then if someone becomes disconnected but they can see the song everyone else is viewing, they can select it manually without having to add it to the list.
