Repertoire Help / Re: Let's discuss lyrics/chord...

Last post by MattG - June 30, 2026, 09:34:03 PM

In the new app version 2026-06-12 released today, you can define text styles on the Repertoire > Text Styles page, then apply those styles when editing lyrics. If you later update the styles, the songs where you applied them will update automatically.

I did NOT make the text styles user specific. I decided that allowing each user to have their own styles is not worth the extra effort of each user defining the styles. However, the styles themselves can be assigned to specific users and will only appear for the users they are assigned to. Currently you cannot apply multiple styles for different users to the same block of text, but that's still on my to do list. Then you could have the option to use the shared styles or create your own personal styles.

This is great. Adds to my other question/answer from yesterday re chord colours.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting that some songs have the manually set colours and others do not. I'll dive in and see what happens.

edit: Fixed, thank you.

Please update to the latest version 2026-06-29, and if that doesn't fix it, try turning on Settings > Advanced > App Control > Use Alternative Keyboard Handler.

Settings > Appearance > Chords Color is set to Yellow by default. You can remove that setting if you want to apply different colors to chords manually.

What app and macOS version do you have? Is Settings > Advanced > App Control > Use Alternative Keyboard Handler on?

Repertoire Help / Chord color

Last post by MattG - June 30, 2026, 12:34:05 AM

All of my songs have color-coded chords for verses/chorus/breaks etc. When I see them in the app, not all are displaying the color I've chosen—most are yellow-and some are a mix of up to three colors.

I use this to help maintain position within the song, so when it's not correct it's a pita.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Repertoire Help / PageFlip Butterfly and Mac des...

Last post by jholland1825 - June 29, 2026, 03:46:36 PM

I've been trying to get this to work this afternoon. The butterfly works fine on iOS with my phone and I assume it will work fine with my iPad, but using it on my Mac has been problematic. I've set it up according to the instructions and it doesn't seem to work even though the up and down arrow actions Reflect in The app control status window. If you click in the activity log, it will go line by line. The butterfly also works in other Mac apps. What I did notice is that in the app, if I go to a song and try to scroll using the up and down arrow keys, the physical ones on the Mac keyboard. It doesn't work. So my assumption is that if that doesn't work, the page turner never will because it just emulates a keyboard. Anyone know what's going on?

thx
