I've got an old iPad V1 that I've used for a very very long time.
I saw that it had the "Export to Band Helper" on it, so I was pleased that it looked like when I was ready to use a newer ipad, I'd be able to move my SLM databases over to the new app and proceed.

However - when I run that Export to Band Helper routine, it provides a PList file. This is an XML file. I can't seem to import it into a newer version of Set List Maker, nor can I bring it into Band Helper.

What am I missing on this? The Set List Maker version is 4.2.

How can I get everything over to either Set List Maker version 2024-10-23 (134) or Band Helper?

You can switch to the Full-Screen Lyrics layout, or any layout with its Layering setting set to Document Viewer On Top.

This video shows how to switch to the Full-Screen Lyrics layout:

And this page shows the standard layout options with different balances between the document viewer and other info. If these are not already installed, you can add a new layout and select one of these as the template:

Other Help / How to increase an image attac...
Last post by yamahap200 - December 30, 2024, 09:07:16 AM
Years ago, I was able to attach photos of charts to my associated songs, and I used to double click the image on my ipad which then expanded the image\photo to take up the entire screen, but since then with updates over time, it seems that I am no longer able to do this by increasing the image to take up the entire screen, it just stays small in image size, unless I'm doing something wrong -

Can someone add some insight for me?

I would like to use the entire scree to see the attach photo, not just a small version of it

You can use the Next Layout and Previous Layout app control actions. If you only have two active layouts, then either of those actions will toggle to the other layout.

Alright that makes sense.

The only issue with changing layouts is that it's a little slow since you need to tap the "change layout" button in the top menu bar and then choose the layout from the sub-menu. This requires two clicks at the least.

Would it be possible to create a button that you can place anywhere on your layout that acts a direct shortcut to another preselected layout with one press? In this case, that can be a full a screen doc layout. You could also put the same button on your full screen doc layout that links back to the previous layout?

That would retain the problems involved with resizing a document while viewing it, and might add similar problems with the song list because then it would also be resized.

Regarding "a single button to alternate between two preset sizes," you can accomplish that by creating two layouts and switching between them.

I've been reading the forum and I discovered that tapping a document to make it full screen is going to be phased out. My understanding is that it seems to be an inherit source of bugs and the simplest solution is to just use a separate layout with a full screen document viewer.

What about this as an alternative: a combined song list/document viewer item that has a scalable bar between them, much like the main menu system that's already in band helper. The user can drag the slider to have either more of the document or more of the song list. Perhaps there could also be a single button to alternate between two preset sizes.

Great to hear!

Did you get the WIDI master for Bluetooth midi? That can be powered directly from the MIDI Baby. The midi out port on the midi baby supplies power. If you're only using MIDI out from the midi baby to your iPad, you don't even need to the MIDI in part of the WIDI master

Update....I got the Midi Baby 3 and it works flawlessly.   It's very programmable.  I've got it set for the center button to advance to the next midi preset.  The left button to the previous preset and the right button to the next song.   I haven't tried it via bluetooth yet.   It needs power via an adapter or via USB which is whqt I'm doing so it's not cableless no matter what.

Both of those behaviors are true: double-tapping an Apple Pencil 2 should open the annotation toolbar, and opening the annotation toolbar from a placeholder page (no document or lyrics) should create a new, empty document. But there is a glitch because the annotation button currently doesn't appear in the document toolbar for placeholder pages, so currently the only way to access that functionality is with the Apple Pencil 2. I'll restore that button in the next update.
