Repertoire Help / MIDI over WiFi using port 5132...
Last post by omygind - August 23, 2026, 04:00:15 AMI have an Allen&Heath mixer (CQ-20B) which is able to receive midi via WiFi on port 51325. Can I configure BandHelper to send midi directly to this device?

Repertoire Help / Re: Suggestion? Keeping track ...
Last post by arlo - August 20, 2026, 11:11:05 PMYes, you can make a set list of all the songs you might possibly play at the jam. You can start with a new set list and simply add all your songs, or you can create a smart list and then copy the smart list songs into the set list.
Some kind of automatic tracking of songs viewed is on my wish list, but I don't know how it would work to access that data later.

Repertoire Help / Re: Suggestion? Keeping track ...
Last post by pingber - August 20, 2026, 11:00:09 AMThat would work if we knew what we were going to play. It's entirely random. I could make a set list of all 580 song and then use your suggestion?
I was just wondering if something was already built in? Or maybe being considered for an update one day?

Last post by arlo - August 19, 2026, 01:22:33 PMIf you make a set list for your jam, you can edit your layout song list and turn on Song Numbers, then check off the songs as you play them. Then you can go back later and look at the songs that are checked off.

Last post by arlo - August 19, 2026, 01:19:44 PMIt looks like there is a way to disable that on particular fields. I'll try it.

Last post by Insider0203 - August 19, 2026, 07:39:33 AMTurning off Smart Punctuation fixed it.
With it on, it does it with two dashes. Trying type in 3 dashes with it on results in one longer dash and one regular dash.
Anyway the app could override the smart punctuation setting?

Repertoire Help / Suggestion? Keeping track of a...
Last post by pingber - August 19, 2026, 05:58:31 AMMaybe this already exists... apologies if it does.
When I get together for jamming, about a day or two later, someone will ask... "what was that song you guys played..."
At 73 I can barely remember the day of the week....
Wouldn't it be nice if BH kept track of songs played and at the end of the session, saved the titles in a file somewhere? Or converted it to a set list named by the date?
Maybe it already has this feature?
Sure I could use paper/pen, but I'd probably forget that too.
Thanks!

Last post by arlo - August 18, 2026, 09:23:19 PMIn the iOS Settings app, you can go to Settings > General > Keyboards and turn off Smart Punctuation.
Before turning that off -- does that also happen with two dashes or only with three?

Repertoire Help / 3 Dashes for column break in C...
Last post by Insider0203 - August 18, 2026, 01:56:45 PMHi Arlo,
I've discovered a strange quirk in MacOS and iOS that makes it very difficult to use the 3 dashes for a column break when inputing chord.
MacOS and iOS seem to automatically combine multiple dashes next to each other into one big dash. So press "-" three times doesn't produce this "---" but this "—". Strangely, it works correctly here on this forum and in Safari in general. But for most Mac and iOS apps, including Bandhelper, 3 dashes makes one bigger dash character. This causes the column break function to not work. The only work around is to copy and paste "---" from some other source. I've been using the bandhelpea tutorial page for that.
I have a video showing the behavior on iOS. The same behavior occurs in the iPadOS and MacOS apps as well. I don't know if this is a glitch or intended behavior from Apple. I don't know if there's something that can be done on your end either in terms of keyboard behavior. Although, I think a simple button in the toolbar for Column break would be a good option and overall better UX.

MIDI Help / Re: How to send a bank change/...
Last post by arlo - August 15, 2026, 05:22:52 PMYou can use the bank and program change fields rather than entering those as raw MIDI. Just check Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Preset Order to make sure the raw MIDI is sent first. You might also have to set "...with Delay Between" if the receiving device needs time to process the sysex before processing the program change.
And instead of entering those sysex codes into every MIDI preset, I recommend making one MIDI preset for each of them containing only the sysex code in the raw MIDI field. Then you can attach one of those presets to each of your presets that send program changes.
