It sounds like you changed the Layering setting in your layout to Document Viewer On Top and it should be Song List On Top.

If that's not it, please submit a help ticket so you can share your settings.

Repertoire Help / Maybe a wishlist item?
Last post by Zionplayer - September 20, 2026, 08:59:04 AM
I am using BandHelper where an iPad is 'mirrored' to a 24" TV on stage with us. Leader can pick any next/upcoming song he wants and immediately communicate it to the band on the TV screen. Very cool BTW and band loves it... no more yelling around.

Would like an option to be able to change the selected song Highlight color from the current light gray to something very obvious in stage lighting, like an orange or green? I currently get the Highlight bar on left side, would like for the whole song 'box' to highlight as well.

Or maybe outline the box in a color? Anything to make it visually stand out in a glance.

MIDI Help / Selecting a song does not send...
Last post by coder400 - September 20, 2026, 12:10:54 AM
Hello,
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have the app on my android connected to WIDI Master and receiving [F8] clock instructions as expected (as viewed from the Activity log).
I can go into the app's MIDI Preset area and click on the preset and it sends the data, changes the bank on the device, and logs the event. So, connection to the device and the preset configured to work correctly is all good.

My problem is when i try to use if from the app while switching songs. I have the preset added to a song and I thought that by swiping to that song OR clicking on the title of the song from within a Set List would cause the MIDI data to be sent. Is that not the case? What step have I missed?

Repertoire Help / Problem with Chords Not appear...
Last post by bherman - September 19, 2026, 09:15:58 AM
i have been using the same layout for several months with one of my band projects, for original songs I have entered chords for a number of the songs. Suddenly now, the chords do not show up at all in the layout. I have not changed any settings or fields within the layout (it is a slightly modified version of the "More Buttons" layout), I have an important show coming up later this week and am at a loss for how to restore this function. Any suggestions?

Quick edit - I deleted and added the document field back in, I can get the chords to show now, but only after I tap the doc field. How do I set it so that they are always visible, and not require "tapping" the field for the chords to show?

Thanks for the info! Regarding #4, if a song has a Recording 2 but no Recording 1, you can add a blank recording in that slot to keep the positions consistent. Here's a file you can use:

You would only need to add that to your account once and then you can use the same empty recording in multiple songs.

Would you want to see the full event info when you look at your Google Calendar, or could that show limited info to you as well as to Facebook?

Schedule Help / Exporting Available Dates
Last post by clavelle - September 13, 2026, 03:52:03 PM
On a related note, looking for the simplest way to share available dates to a venue using an export.  I already added a category for available dates and added the dates we were not booked and or someone was unavailable.  So now I can filter on available dates through the "Available" category, but it includes a bunch of extra stuff i don't need or want to send to a venue.   Just want to send these dates are available full stop.  Any suggestions on how to remove the extra fields from the export, similar to how you can in a shared set list?
