Repertoire Help / Re: Synching iPads
Last post by arlo - January 06, 2026, 11:08:42 AMI don't think the iOS version will matter; I was just asking about the app version.
The Live Sharing function will scale scroll positions to match each device's screen size, so I'm trying to see if the amount that it's off is small enough to just be a small calculation or rounding error. Can you send screen shots of both devices, showing an example of the lead device scrolled to a marker and where the following device actually scrolled to?

Last post by ElleMrLA - January 06, 2026, 10:25:49 AMThe spacing varies from song to song. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't with different spacings.
I just got the info from my colleague's iPad. Here are the infos from our two iPads:
I have to admit that I only updated to iOS 26.2 today. Maybe that was the reason.
I can only report after the next rehearsal whether it works now.
Any other ideas?

Repertoire Help / Re: Feature Request: Quick cha...
Last post by arlo - January 06, 2026, 10:09:59 AMAre you switching between projects like every song, or every few songs, or doing a whole set with one project and then switching?
And are you literally changing personnel (one band leaves the stage and the other comes up) or do both projects have the same players as well as some of the same songs?
I'm trying to picture the scenario where this would be an issue.

Repertoire Help / Feature Request: Quick change ...
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - January 06, 2026, 10:00:15 AMHi Arlo
I've just came to a new situation, that would probably require a new feature.
I'm playing in two different projects with different repertoires. However, pretty frequently lately I'm playing with both duos on the same evening and switch back and forth between them.
I could in theory add the songs to the other project to create one setlist per evening, but I strictly differentiate both projects.
As there is already a quick-change function to change the setlist during the performance, I thought maybe it's possible to have a toggle switch in there to include other projects or distinct projects in that dropdown as well to quickly change lists?
I would then prepare a setlist for each project for the same evening but could switch back and forth.
Is that something you could "easily" look into or do you have better suggestions to deal with that? I know I obviously also could go back out of the project and open the other one, but that's quite some clicks.
Thanks a lot for your thoughts
Best regards,
Chris

Repertoire Help / Re: Exporting songs!
Last post by arlo - January 05, 2026, 10:56:14 PMYou can export a BandHelper project from the Admin > Export page of the website and import it into another BandHelper account from the Admin > Import page of the website. Those pages contain further instructions.

Repertoire Help / Re: Exporting songs!
Last post by JENN - January 05, 2026, 05:20:18 PMQuote from: arlo on April 30, 2024, 10:29:12 PMWhat do you want to do with the exported songs? There are a few different export options depending on what you need to accomplish.
I am the administrator/owner of one BH account. I have 4 projects "housed" on this account. I joined another group that began to use BH on my recommendation. We/ve used it for several years, but one of the instrumentalists is moving this group to another app. I want to export the music on the BH account and transfer it to my BH account. Otherwise I'll have to re-enter all that music into the new app (I don;t want to switch apps)

Repertoire Help / Re: Exporting songs!
Last post by arlo - January 05, 2026, 02:21:02 PMYou said that Ultimate Guitar doesn't have a batch import function and that you would have to copy and paste individual songs from BandHelper's export to Ultimate Guitar anyway, so copying and pasting from the preview page as I described above seems easier than copying and pasting from separate files generated for each song.
BTW you could also copy and paste from the spreadsheet file exported from the Repertoire > Songs page, but that delimits line breaks with backslash-n and I don't know how Ultimate Guitar would handle that.
Anyway, this isn't about being "locked in" -- I don't care if you copy your chord charts into Ultimate Guitar. This just isn't something I would want to devote more resources to at this point given the existing solutions and the low demand for a different solution.

Are both devices using the current app version?

Repertoire Help / Re: Exporting songs!
Last post by MasonJames - January 05, 2026, 12:46:33 PMI understand your solutions. I guess i was just wanting an ease of use. There's no way to just export a setlist and have all the individual songs be exported as its own file and to be able to export as chordpro. PDF for chord charts isnt standard. Not for ultimate guitar. Ive spent a lot of time converting my charts to chord pro and to make them fucntion and look good. It does feel like they are now locked in bandhelper.
Only solution i can do is opening the edit song on a song in bandhelper- then copy pasting into wherever im wanting to take the song.

Repertoire Help / Synching iPads
Last post by ElleMrLA - January 05, 2026, 09:54:33 AMHello Arlo,
I have a problem syncing two iPads.
Mine is an iPad Pro 12.9, sixth generation. It is the Master.
I'm not sure about my colleague's iPad, but it's smaller.
We connect the two iPads using "Adopt Actions..." My colleague has created a custom layout for his iPad (portrait).
The text scrolling is done via automation tracks with jumps to markers in the text.
However, on my colleague's iPad, the markers are not perfectly aligned at the top. The further the song progresses, the more the text shifts.
We've also tried using my layout. Same result. The text shifts upward.
What can I do about this?
BTW: All the best for the New Year!!!
Regards
Elle
