Repertoire Help / Feature Request: Assign users ...
Last post by Insider0203 - December 16, 2025, 08:25:31 AMHi Arlo,
In my band, we have multiple singers. We have two main lead vocalists but other members occasionally take lead vocals as well. We all use layouts with document viewers and have different documents assigned for different users. But for most songs, most users don't need to see any document and prefer to just see the placeholder song title instead.
Putting the lyrics in the main lyrics field makes the lyrics appear for all users by default and this can be distracting for users who don't want/need lyrics or want to see a different document
I know there are various work arounds for this. One is to set the default document per user. The other is to use the "personal lyrics" fields. The last is to hide the lyrics field all together for users who never need lyrics. However, all these have their quirks and tradeoffs.
I would prefer it if it was possible just to assign lyrics to users like you can with documents. There could still be a place for the personal lyrics fields as well if a user needs to see different text.

Repertoire Help / Re: Sending incorrect MIDI pre...
Last post by Insider0203 - December 12, 2025, 10:47:52 AMQuoteNot sure if that also addresses Insider0203's situation.
For me, the issue is that the "send next midi preset or song" includes pinned presets. There should be an option to exclude them in my opinion

Repertoire Help / Re: Sending incorrect MIDI pre...
Last post by WilburrUK - December 12, 2025, 10:09:58 AMThanks Arlo, I've tried as you suggested (using Send Midi) and it only sends when there's a song-specific preset, so that's exactly as I want it. Not sure if that also addresses Insider0203's situation.
It takes some doing on my particular device (a fairly basic adroid tablet)though, because in the settings/App Control/Add an Action/Midi/ popup, I can't scroll the list up all the way to the top- it looks like the title bar is overlaying the top couple of entries in the list. Clicking where I guess the correct entry is does select it though!

Repertoire Help / Re: Sending incorrect MIDI pre...
Last post by arlo - December 12, 2025, 09:24:46 AMMy first reaction is that the Send MIDI 1-10 actions shouldn't send pinned presets, but I'll look further into that for the next update.
Meanwhile, you can use the Send MIDI action to send either the default song-specific preset (depending on Settings > General > Defaults > MIDI Preset) or all the song-specific presets (depending on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Send MIDI Presets Together) and I don't think that will send the pinned presets.

Repertoire Help / Re: Sending incorrect MIDI pre...
Last post by Insider0203 - December 12, 2025, 08:42:59 AMYeah this raises a similar problem for me. I attach multiple presets for songs, usually like a preset for the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc. I have an external midi foot switch programmed for the app control action "next Midi preset or song". With this, I can basically use one button to step through each part of a song and go right into the next.
If I wanted a pinned preset to maybe access my tuner, that would add an extra preset to all my songs and would mess up the step sequence.
It sounds like you and I have the same expectation that pinned presets should operate separately from the attached ones. I think that makes sense.

Last post by WilburrUK - December 12, 2025, 08:12:39 AMThanks for the insight, I do have a Multiple MIDI button - though it was only set to show PINNED presets. Changing that to ALL does show the song's bespoke presets before the pinned one - which, for some reason, I expected to be the other way around, that explains the behaviour.
It throws up another issue though, now (having changed the action to send MIDI 1): When I select a song with its own preset, that preset is sent correctly, but when I select a song with no preset of its own, it sends the pinned one,as that now sits in slot 1. While I can probably get around this in my partucular circumstances, I'm struggling to come up with a way to have the song select action effectively ignore the pinned presets.

Last post by Insider0203 - December 12, 2025, 07:21:25 AMI don't use pinned midi presets but I just made one as a test and tried it out myself. When I make an app control action to send midi 2 on song selection, it sends the pinned preset.
I don't know how your layout is setup but I view all midi presets in the song list with the "multiple midi" button. All the midi presets attached to the song are listed in order from top to bottom and then there's a divider to show the pinned preset at the bottom. So it looks like Bandhelper counts the pinned preset as the last preset attachment to a song. So if you one have midi preset attached, your pinned preset will count as the second. That would explain why "send midi 2" is sending the pinned preset.
If you set the app control action to "send midi", it will just send the first preset.
However, @Arlo, is this the intended behavior or is there some setting to that we're missing?
For me personally, I attach multiple presets to a song and then step though them with the "send midi preset or next song" command. If I have a pinned preset say for accessing the tuner on my pedalboard, it would mess up my step sequence.
