MIDI Help / Re: Selecting a song does not ...
Last post by coder400 - September 21, 2026, 11:11:44 PMThanks Arlo. My apologies for being in the wrong board. So many similar questions it had me fooled.
The new instructions were the mostly the same as the other one. But I went back through them again and tried different variations to no avail.
Should I put a ticket in or send more documentation (to the correct board of course)?

MIDI Help / Re: Selecting a song does not ...
Last post by coder400 - September 20, 2026, 09:03:55 PMAnyway, I tired the following:
"To select specific songs with a MIDI device
Most app control actions aren't tied to specific songs, but you can map MIDI messages to specific songs. Then if you have a MIDI device that makes it easy to send arbitrary messages, you can use these messages to navigate directly to the desired songs.
Find out whether your MIDI device can send Song Select messages or Program Change messages. Song Select messages were designed for exactly this purpose, but are limited to 128 songs, and are less commonly used.
Navigate to Settings > App Control, scroll down in the Actions list and click Song Number.
Click either MIDI System Messages or MIDI Program Messages, then select Song Select or Program Change. (These are the only options for each message type.)
Navigate to Settings > Audio & MIDI and turn on Assign Song Select Numbers or Assign Incoming Programs. You will need this to enter song values in the next step.
Navigate to Songs and click a song title to edit it. You'll see either a MIDI Song Number field or a MIDI Program Change field, with accompanying Bank MSB and LSB fields. Enter unique values between 0 and 127 into these fields.
Program your MIDI device to send the values you entered for each song.
Navigate to a show or smart list that contains the songs you want to select. Then send the messages you programmed from your MIDI device."
But still nothing gets sent, or logged in the activity log. I am still missing something.

Last post by coder400 - September 20, 2026, 09:01:12 PMHi, apologies. I am super confused. Is there no Bandhelper forum, or are these apps essentially the same?

Last post by bherman - September 20, 2026, 01:21:32 PMThanks for replying, Arlo. I didn't change the setting, but you were right it was set to documents on top. Only thing is now, it shows a blue transparent "page" image that wasnt there before. I cannot find where to delete that (document background or something?
)

Repertoire Help / Re: Maybe a wishlist item?
Last post by arlo - September 20, 2026, 10:47:12 AMDo you use song title colors? Changing the background to a color would make some colored song titles difficult to read.
How about adding a large Title field to your layout?

Last post by arlo - September 20, 2026, 10:44:56 AMIt sounds like you changed the Layering setting in your layout to Document Viewer On Top and it should be Song List On Top.
