Last post by arlo - June 11, 2026, 08:23:44 AMCustom fields are only for songs, not for shows.
What specifically are you trying to accomplish?

Other Help / Shows grouped user fields
Last post by HS-1 - June 11, 2026, 12:51:16 AMHi,
Can I also group the shows into user fields, like when I enter a date?
When I create a user field in the database, it does not appear in the show menu.
Thx

Repertoire Help / Re: Feature Request: Pin Curre...
Last post by arlo - June 08, 2026, 02:38:47 PMI think it's better to show the title in a separate field than to alter the position of the current song within the song list, because that could add confusion about the order of the songs. For example, you might forget that you have scrolled the song list down and think that the song in the second visible position (just under the pinned song in the first position) is the next song on the set list. That would be bad if the band starts the next song and you start playing a different song.

Repertoire Help / Re: Feature Request: Pin Curre...
Last post by Insider0203 - June 08, 2026, 02:05:02 PMYeah, I'm aware of those, but those options have quirks and tradeoffs.
For example: for the user just viewing a song list only layout on their phone, I made a layout where I resized the song list to leave a little space at the top of the "title" field. That's fine but it basically shows the title twice, once in the field and again in the song list, unless you scroll down in the song list.
Again, this was a small issue and isn't high on my wishlist but I think it would be an elegant solution that would help clean up lay outs.

Repertoire Help / Feature Request: Pin Currently...
Last post by Insider0203 - June 08, 2026, 05:14:18 AMFor my band, we all use a Split View layout with the song list on the left and document viewer on the right. For the vast of majority of songs, most of us don't ever need lyrics or documents so the document viewer just displays the title of the song placeholder. Most of us have gotten used to always seeing the title of the current song in this spot.
On a recent gig, one of the band members forgot his iPad and I suggested he just use his phone. This worked out great but one thing he noted that since his phone layout was just using the song list view, if he scrolled the song list, he wouldn't be able to see the current song title unless he scrolled back.
This was mostly a non issue and just took some getting used to but it got me thinking of a new feature:
Pin the current song to the top of the song list. It would behave much like how the Set list names are pinned to the top.
This also might be useful for another one of my requests: a live song queue. When a user wants to load another song to be the next song, it gets pinned to the top below the current song. They keep queuing songs and pinning them to the top, basically making a new playlist. If it gets too long, there probably should be a way to expand and collapse the top pinned queue list.

Repertoire Help / Re: Foot Switch to Adjust Auto...
Last post by arlo - June 04, 2026, 09:58:24 PMYou could use any foot switch to trigger the Stop/Start Auto-Scroll actions, which would pause the auto-scroll in the case you get ahead of it, or you need more time for a long solo.
You could also trigger the Scroll Document Up or Scroll Document Down actions, which would have the same effect as slowing down or speeding up the auto-scroll.
Instructions for setting up a foot switch are here:

Repertoire Help / Foot Switch to Adjust Auto-Scr...
Last post by Strupified - June 04, 2026, 02:09:08 PMThanks for the great information on this product!
I am not necessarily looking for something to help turn or scroll through pages per se. I am looking for a product that would work with Bandhelper to speed up, slow down, or even stop the auto-scroll I have set up for songs. There are times that my band speeds up a bit, and I need to have the scrolling speed up a bit. Would this product (or even the Stomp mini) work? Or, is there another product you would recommend to help meet my need?

Schedule Help / Re: Formatted Text in iCal Fee...
Last post by arlo - June 03, 2026, 11:11:36 AMOkay, I'll put the formatting with X-ALT-DESC on my wish list.
Meanwhile, I just updated the iCal feed to put custom field headings and values on separate lines. iCal feeds are cached on both ends, so you'll need to add or update an event in BandHelper and induce your calendar app to refresh (that's difficult with Google) before you see the change.

Schedule Help / Re: Formatted Text in iCal Fee...
Last post by Blainew - June 03, 2026, 10:56:14 AMHere's an example of one of our events. We have a number of custom fields set to provide basic gig info to the team. In plan text, it not the easiest to read.
Ideally, we could simply bold the custom field names (e.g. 'Parking / Loading Information') and maybe put the field values on a new line below the names.
I have users that consume the iCal feed in Google, Outlook, and Apple.
