It looks like you imported your songs first and then your MIDI presets. To link MIDI presets to songs when importing, you would need to import your MIDI presets first. At this point, you could delete all the songs (there is a batch delete function on the Repertoire > Songs page of the website), the import them again and they will link to the existing MIDI presets.

Repertoire Help / Bulk link songs to mid presets

Last post by DC - November 03, 2026, 06:33:52 AM

Hi, new BH user here. I have a song list with 240 items and a matching midi preset list. I would like to link each song with its corresponding preset.

Is there a way to do this in a spreadsheet? I tried copying the preset name to the Midi Preset (Column N) in my songlist but that didn't work. Is there another way?

Thanks!

App control is for starting the auto-scrolling, not for controlling the auto-scroll timing.

If your Auto-Scroll Duration and Auto-Scroll Pre-Roll settings don't seem to be working, please submit a help ticket:

You're talking about testing this "on the lyric page" -- do you mean in the set list view?

To start auto-scroll or other functions automatically when selecting songs, please see the App Control tutorial:

https://www.bandhelper.com/tutorials/app_control.html

Hey boss! What I mean is that when a song is selected from the set list and it populates the window, you select the lyrics (I have them both in the song data "Lyrics" window and as a pdf document attached) so that the lyrics are up as the song is playing. I need to be able to start the scroll at a specific point into the playing of the audio file (in seconds normally, but it could be minutes.seconds), and end at either the end of song, or at a preset end point or time. It would be cool if there was a "rate" function to control scroll speed, but I didn't see that anywhere.

If I pick the dropdown item with the lyrics up in the app window, it will do the default scroll. That works for most songs, but not all. Sometimes I need it scrolling from earlier or right at the kick off! I'd really rather be able to set a lyrics auto-scroll for every song as a standard when I do them online in the Edit Song page of the online manager. Is thing possible, or am I misunderstanding auto-scroll?

Reading the tutorials, this seems a simple setting in the song data page, but when I enter it there the scroll doesn't follow it. I'm going to read the app control info you sent and see if it's there. Thank you for taking time to answer!

To play a stereo backing track and a click track or the built-in tempo click to separate channels, you'd need either an older iPad with a headphone jack, or a USB audio interface with more than two channels:

To handle a tempo change in the middle of a song, you could either create an automation track that changes the tempo of the built-in tempo click at the desired time, or create a custom click track recording and play that instead of the built-in tempo click.

To start the built-in tempo and recording at the same time, you can use an app control action or create an automation track that starts both:

Hi arlo.
Yes.
On Bh you call it recordings.
May I add a couple of questions?
1.On Bh internal click, can you program a tempo change so where along the recording?
2. How can you make the click and recording start playing together with one Bh button?

If the answer to the first question is yes, I'll buy a 4 output sound card I think.
If not I'll have to find another way somehow...

You said "I want to run backing track through the ipad and click." Do you mean you want to play the backing track and click track from the iPad?

You also said "modx has only main L+R outputs." The keyboard's audio outputs wouldn't matter if you're playing the backing track from the iPad, so it's unclear what you're trying to do.
