The automatic calculation divides the song duration by the lyrics length plus an extra half-page at the start for the intro and a half-page at the end for an outro.

Thank you! Just curious, how does the auto-scroll perform the automatic calculation if there isn't an auto-scroll pre-roll or auto-scroll duration?

Does it just guess at a percentage of the total duration before starting?

I have a song with a 3-minute duration, but the lyrics don't start until about 35 seconds in. I set the "auto-scroll pre-roll" setting to 35 seconds. But on the mobile app, when I tap the document to "start the song," it defaults to 30 seconds.

Did you set the auto-scroll duration, too? If you want to override the automatic auto-scroll calculation, you'll have to set the auto-scroll duration. More info is here:

if multiple people are using the app, and one person "starts the song," does it start for everyone?

If you want to share an action like starting auto-scroll on multiple devices, you can use Live Sharing:

Repertoire Help / Help with Auto-Scrolling

Hi all, brand new user of BandHelper. Trying to get some stuff set up for my band so I can encourage them to use this! Right now I'm trying to figure out the auto-scroll.

I have a song with a 3-minute duration, but the lyrics don't start until about 35 seconds in. I set the "auto-scroll pre-roll" setting to 35 seconds. But on the mobile app, when I tap the document to "start the song," it defaults to 30 seconds.

Am I setting something incorrectly? Is this setting not what controls how long before the lyrics start scrolling.

Also, I haven't gotten around to other bandmates yet, but if multiple people are using the app, and one person "starts the song," does it start for everyone?

Thanks!

Okay, I'll look into options for supporting that.

Here's a pretty specific example:
I'm sending OSC messages to my XR18 mixer when a song is selected, to select and enable an insert FX (enable it in 2 places, and select which FX of 8 possible channels), the 2 commands I need to send are:

/ch/06/insert ON Fx4A
/fx/4/insert 1

but the first of these cannot be sent from Bandhelper as far as I know, because it has 2 arguments.
There are, supposedly 2 alternative single argument messages available to replace this message, but one of them doesn't work, I've confirmed using an app called MultiTrack, that the messages above DO work (and that the alternatives don't).

What's an example of something you can't do without this feature?
